Happy Day at Santa Monica Beach and Pier (Acrylic Seascape by Carol Reynolds)


"Happy Day at Santa Monica Beach and Pier"
16" x 20" acrylic on canvas 

This acrylic beach scene of Santa Monica Beach and Pier was painted about 15 years ago.  I  just thought I would share it with you as I ran across it while doing some changes to my living room and studio this week with the help of my son.    There has been no painting for me all week as I have been very busy with this other work.    Hopefully by Saturday I can begin working in oils again.

When I lived in the area I used to visit Santa Monica frequently, and the other beaches along the famous "Strand".

"Near Santa Monica"


                                                        5" x 5" Acrylic on gessobord
                                                                    $185


Santa Monica beach and town are in the distance and to the far right of this beach (not shown in this painting, of course).    I really enjoyed Santa Monica whenever I visited California, which was often.  The town as well as the beach and pier were a pleasure to visit.    Many years ago I painted several watercolors of the area; perhaps I'll post a couple of them in the future.   I do not remember the name of the beach in this painting above, which I painted from a reference photo I took many years ago.
