In the peak summer months of July, August and September, Santa Monica Beach is a crowded bustling playground for hundreds of thousands of beachgoers, Californians and tourists alike. Swimming, body surfing, surf boarding, bogey boarding, sun tanning, socializing, pick-up volleyball, bike riding, skate boarding, rollar skating, in-line skating, jogging, kite-flying and old-fashioned picnicking are all part of the Action. With its cool fresh breeze off the Pacific Ocean, Santa Monica beach is the Great Escape from the summer heat of Inland LA. A place where LA comes to relax, show off and have fun.In the cool, sometimes stormy winter months of January and February, everything changes. The cool almost empty beach attracts pelicans, sandpipers, seagulls and snowy plovers and in the sea, with only a few surfers, dolpins play in the winter waves and surf. Nature re-asserts itself and the few people wandering about are dressed in sweaters, hats and windbreakers.The summer bustle and crowds give way to a more contemplative and thoughtful experience. Strong winds, the cries of seabirds, variable weather and an ocean that has turned dark blue.Wintertime Santa Monica Beach.................

On Location: Drawing the Outdoors
<p><b>A journey through drawings by groundbreaking nineteenth-century artists who left the studio to look outside for inspiration</b></p><p>Featuring over 150 drawings and watercolors by some of the nineteenth century's most celebrated artists, <i>On Location: Drawing the Outdoors</i> investigates a monumental shift in artistic practice: the moment artists stepped outside the studio for inspiration and understanding. From Edouard Manet and William Blake to Paul Cézanne and Caspar David Friedrich, this publication includes works by artists spanning national and regional schools across Europe.</p><p>Guiding readers on an artistic expedition, this publication charts ten trails or thematic pathways through the collection, replicating the thrill of outdoor exploration and encompassing the rich variety of nature's subjects. By tracing patterns of artistic experience, the obstacles and opportunities encountered outside, and the materiality and techniques of nineteenth-century works, the book asks critical questions--what constitutes a landscape, and what does it mean to draw <i>the</i> outdoors rather than to draw <i>while</i> outdoors?--and invites readers to consider these works in the context of contemporary issues of environmentalism, the relationship between art and technology, and more.</p><p>Distributed for the Harvard Art Museums</p><p><b>Exhibition Schedule: </b></p><p><b>Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA</b><br>(September 18, 2026-January 17, 2027)</p>
