Sometimes...it sings...
Muir Beach(Sunset)(8x10 oil, $100-SOLD)
Sometimes it all comes together. It did here. I based this on a series of photos I took at Muir Beach, near Big Sur in California. The sunsets are amazing as are the rock formations. What pleased me most of this little 8x10 piece was the sky and, the foreground waves and water. Instead of messing with details, I used, once again, a large filbert and forced myself to think in terms of broad areas of color. Water can be painted in two ways-anal retentive detail that, to me, winds up looking frozen, or, in big swashes of color and broad strokes of paint. This was a completely wonderful and pleasing painting. More like it I think!!!
