This painting was finished last April and in all the hustle bustle of getting ready for shows and paint outs, I neglected posting it here. It was a studio painting, based upon smaller studies that I did ‘en plein air’ on location. This is a typical way for me to work – to study a subject from life, and then to produce larger pieces in the studio when I can explore them slowly and thoughtfully. The original study was painted during a paint out with the California Art Club.
Karen, as I said on FB, your painting is truly a gem. I’m sure the person who purchased it will treasure it. And how nice to see you painting the study. The photographer did a great job of capturing the gorgeous and atmospheric landscape.
Thanks, Jan, my dear husband was the photographer. You can tell how windy it was by the tilt of the brim of my hat!
Nice painting and reminds me of the movie ‘The French Lieutenant’s Woman’ waiting and watching out to see.
I mean the photo, not the painting. But it is truly a delightful painting of that beach anyway. ‘To see’ or ‘to sea’ – both.
