Look at that view!!! This is in the Big Sur coastal range, just south of Carmel,CA and it was quite challenging to paint! It took 2 visits spanning a year. I decided the epic view would be worth an epic attempt so I pulled out my biggest canvas for painting outside, 14x18”.
My painting started on March of 2018. I had the most horrible start! Things got very dark on me. When I look at the block-in, it looks like I’m struggling with drawing and with the tricky values of dark rock in bright sun and shadow vs stark white sand.
This painting was juried into the Calfornia Art Club’s “From Sea to Sierra” show in January and February. Where is it now? It is in the possession of my friend Annie who picked it up for me in Folsom and due to current travel restrictions, I’m waiting to retrieve it when we get the All Clear to go about our lives again. Stay safe my friends! Oh- if the painting interests you, please let me know! It’s available!
