DescriptionEvery day brings a new pageant to the shores of Southern California. Mirrored in the silvery wet sands, people make their way to the waterline, with a dramatic sky arching over all in this Phil Dike watercolor. One of the founders of the California Scene style, Phil Dike studied at Chouinard and was employed for a time by Walt Disney, teaching drawing composition to Disney Studios animators and working on such classic films as Snow White and Fantasia as a sketch artist, color coordinator and advisor. By the time he left Disney in 1945, he was also a well-known fine artist and recipient of many awards. He went on to teach at Chouinard, found art schools with Rex Brandt and Phil Paradise, and from 1950 was professor of art at Scripps College and Claremont Graduate School, retiring as emeritus professor in 1970.
