We are home now, and I am painting from my photos. Our Amtrak train from Seattle to Los Angeles, the Coast Starlight, went inland for awhile, and then turned toward the ocean.
I’ve lived most of my life near the Atlantic Ocean, and by comparison the Pacific seems more majestic, colder and more forbidding. But we did pass some beaches where people were sunbathing and surfing. I used a white pen to indicate the edges of the surf.
