New Painting - December 22, 2009

View from Rocky Point - Looking Along The Big Sur Coast  -- 10” x 18” oil $1500-(unframed)


This painting was executed in between the winter storms we are having here in California this month. These breaks in the weather are a beautiful time to be outside. It may be a bit chilly and breezy, but the air is crisp, fresh and clear. This time of the year produces excellent  painting conditions. With the sun at a low angle, the day maintained a nice shadow pattern on the Santa Lucia Mountains. For me, the painter, the mountains and the shadows on them is what the painting is about. But you, the viewer, can take whatever you like from the painting; memories, sense of place, etc..
