Collection of Clayton and Catherine Day

This dyptych was inspired an old panoramic view north from Ocean Front Walk and Rose Avenue. The best part of painting it was picking out colors of buildings based recollections of Santa Monica seniors. They tell me that the umbrellas were almost always either black or faded to grey. It seems strange to us now that people would go to such extremes avoiding exposure to sunlight, even at the beach. Then again, they didn't have sunblock.

High-quality Giclé prints of this painting are available at any size.
