California Majesty

Large bodies of water have been the norm lately from Maui to Malibu. This painting though is along the Big Sur coast, another larger than life view of aqua blueness. Sometimes I want to try my hand at 'spelling' distance and I'm intrigued by the receding bluffs as they change color. We've been blessed this past month with so many visions of grandeur and majesty. It's almost been a case of visual overload. Not.

Happy New Year from me and my darling family.

Some days, I just don't want to leave home to 'go to work'. This was one such day, so I just wandered around my house and property until I landed on something I thought could turn into a painting. There is a magnificent stand of coastal pines just to the north of us and in between the trees we can see the Pt. Cabrillo lighthouse. I decided to highlight just one of the trees and it somehow ended up with a Japanese woodblock look to it with a formal composition. I just never know just what will happen when the paint hits the page, so I'm almost as surprised as you are when viewing the end result.
