Rainbow Sherbet Candy Colors
Rainbow Sherbet Baker Beach, oil on canvas, 8x10" x 1.5"
Dapples of peachy pastel pinks and soft periwinkle blues blanket the sky in this epic sunset on Baker Beach, San Francisco.
It was during the heat wave of 2017, when San Francisco saw rare temperatures breaking 100 degrees. The beaches were packed with more people then I had ever seen, as people flocked to the cold salty water to cool down. Usually only the dedicated surfers, joggers, and shoreline fishermen are brave enough to enjoy San Francisco’s cold and foggy beaches.
Because sunny beach days are so rare in San Francisco, the people here all come out to celebrate and spend time outside. We were blessed with this gorgeous sunset on that evening, as the sky filled out with delicious pastel colors.
Pastel colors are some of my favorite to paint, especially when I get to sneak in some brights to make them pop. They remind me of the swirling colors of rainbow sherbet ice cream, with candy sprinkles on top… you can almost taste the colors!
