Description
This painting was created from a photo I took while traveling along highway 101 with my husband and son. We stopped at a vista point and I took this picture. I was struck by the extreme contrast in colors from the farmlands above the cliffs and the lone rock standing guard in the small inlet. I really enjoyed playing with the colors of the fields behind the beach and the contrasting red plants on the cliff. I did a value study with marker pen and then painted the original when I needed to replace a painting of a similar size in an Art Hop Exhibit. This was my first experiment at a loose more impressionistic style. It was on display at a local restraint when it was purchased as art for the offices of a local tile contractor..
