“On the Bluff” in Palisades Park, Santa Monica...a 26-acre park located along Ocean Avenue with exposed bluffs and beautiful views of both the Pacific Ocean and the coastal mountains. It’s a bustling place full of locals walking, running, doing yoga and working out with trainers…breathing serotonin into every cell. Happy dogs are everywhere getting their salty fresh air walks, couples lounge in the sunlit grass, tourist’s snap photos…and in the middle of it all is us, plein air painters perched throughout the park capturing the joy of this specific moment—a gorgeous California morning in fall.
