Ocean Beach Series

"Ocean Beach"© John Steven Calder 2016–2024
First in the "Ocean Beach Series". Experimenting with composition, palette and ratio's, I visualized San Francisco's Ocean Beach in the most minimalist way. Ratio's dictate that there is more sky than earth, more water than land. The 4 elements, Sky, Ocean, Waves and Beach, colors, are very specific. The color of Earth is the sum of sand, vegetation and foliage that you would see on Ocean Beach.

"Ocean Beach Triptych"© John Steven Calder 2016–2024 Adding to the "Ocean Beach Series". Experimenting with composition, palette and ratio's, I visualized San Francisco's Ocean Beach in the most minimalist way. Ratio's dictate that there is more sky than earth, more water than land. The 4 elements, Sky, Ocean, Waves and Beach, colors, are very specific. The color of Earth is the sum of sand, vegetation and foliage that you would see on Ocean Beach. The 3 panels represent the Sun setting, the original beach and a view of the Farallones, a real Sunset Kid special!
