This is my second edition of my Encinitas Coffee Table Book. This 12.5 inch wide by 9.5 inch tall book contains all my hand colored images of four communities within Encinitas, California (Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Historic Encinitas, Olivenhain and Leucadia). 112 pages. Hardcover.

Each mixed-media photograph is accompanied by a brief description on what prompted me to focus on in each particular image, my choice of coloring, and often the rationale behind each exquisite composition. Since the first edition I've been working with additional media including oils on photo paper, oils on canvas, acrylics on canvas, watercolor on watercolor paper and pastel on matte paper.\

Two chapters demonstrate DIY hand coloring images with oils on photo paper and with pastels on inkjet paper.

The limited edition book has a teal colored cloth cover with gold-colored inlay lettering and jacket. It is limited to 100 copies only. Numbered and signed by me on the title page. Content for the open edition and limited edition versions is the same.

This photo was taken from the border of Solana Beach and Cardiff-by-the-Sea. On the right is part of the San Elijo Lagoon. On the left along the stretch of Highway 101 is Cardiff State Beach and in the background along the bluffs is San Elijo State Beach.

A collage of nine Leucadia photographs, in an open edition.

From top left to bottom right we have:

1) The coast of Leucadia, between Beacons and Grandview on a foggy morning, shot with my drone
2) Beacons Beach with the path leading down the bluffs
3) The old Encinitas Train Depot, which now houses Pannikin Coffee and Tea. The train depot was built in 1887, modeled after the Carlsbad train depot which was built about a year before. It was initially located near the current Encinitas train station, but moved to Leucadia in the early 1970’s
4) Trees lining the Pacific Coast Highway 101 (and a first generation VW bus from 1950’s)
5) The Leucadia sign at the border with Carlsbad
6) The Leucadia post office, built in 1956 at the corner of Hwy 101 and Phoebe St
7) The wooden stairs at Grandview Beach
8) Pelicans “riding” a wave, shot with my drone during a king tide
9) Stonesteps beach at South El Portal St and Neptune Ave.

The dividing lines between the photos are wooden stairs from San Elijo State Beach shot from above, with the pentagonal platforms at the cross-sections.

Just before the 2020 California lock down I was at Cardiff State Beach. I loved the clouds that day and even though it was taken on a late morning, I colored this piece as a sunset. ‍

Initially I named it "People of Cardiff III", but my wife is so much better at coming up with titles I named it "California Gold" as per her suggestion after she saw this colored version.
