My son, Tyler, is a surfer and he knows all the prettiest spots to surf on the coast... from San Francisco down to Monterey and beyond.

Back in August 2017 (has it really been five years?!?), Tyler mentioned that the purple blossoms on the bluffs above Montara Beach were spectacular and a particular field was just filled with blooms. He offered to show me the exact spot and take some video, if I wanted to paint there.

I was giddy with joy at the thought of finding a special new field of flowers AND spending the day with Tyler.  (That joy is pretty obvious in this video...)

I hope you enjoy Capturing the Colors of Montara and that it provides a nice mood-elevating distraction to your day!

If you like to paint, feel free to use any of the footage in this video for your own paintings!
