Discovering New Beaches

Fort Bragg, California is an aging mill town with no mill - the old Union Lumber Company that built the town is long gone. There are some nice beaches just north of town, easily accessed by bicycle on an old logging road called the Haul Road, now a public path (no cars).

I was able to spend two weeks in early August riding a borrowed bike to these beaches, and painting the bluffs, dunes, waves and the pervasive fog that usually hung low over the coast. I really enjoyed it and these watercolors are some of the results.
