This is a painting I made a long time ago when I lived in Southern California. I used to ride my bicycle up and down the Pacific Coast Highway bike path. I always looked enviously as I passed a swimming pool from a Huntington Beach apartment complex that was practically on the beach.
I gave the painting to my good friend Joyce who recently shared this photo with me. My favorite parts are the lounge chairs. And the welcome mat at the gate. And the purple deck stones. And the pink wall with white bricks. And the sea gulls by the horizon. And the waves rolling in. Truth be told, I like this painting a lot. It brings back many good memories.
