The Cove, La Jolla
8x10 original oil painting
SOLD
We spent Christmas in La Jolla with my family. The weather was beautiful, 80 degrees, and we were half a block from the Windansea beach. We were also near the Cove, a swimming and diving beach that is sheltered by sandstone cliffs. La Jolla Cove has some of the clearest water of all San Diego beaches. It is also part of the San Diego La Jolla Underwater Park Ecological Reserve .
In my painting above, the shallow areas of the water are emerald green with some yellow hues. As the water gets a little deeper the color turns ultramarine blue with some gray tones. On clear days along the ocean front, there is usually a line of reddish-purple haze near the horizon line.
