Morro Bay

 

Dick has painted the Moro Bay vicinity on numerous occasions. Mostly he focuses on various depictions of Moro Rock as subject matter. In this arrangement he has concentrated on a dock and men engaged in fishing and boat activities. The crispness of the foreground in juxtaposition to the eerie boats moored in the distant mist is the prelude to the rising sun trying to burn its way into morning.  

 Early on Dick painted many boat and ocean scenes of San Pedro Harbor and expanded his works with locations along the California coast from Laguna, San Pedro, Santa Monica, Moro Bay, San Simeon, Monterey, and Mendocino.

 The distinctive “Dick Burg dots” are visible in the foreground water.
