CHINA COVE STUDY - SOLD

Another painting from our trip up north to Pt. Lobos Nat'l. Park.  The area at the end of the park is called China Cove and is truly beautiful.  The water is tropical looking and the hole in the rock (upper left) is almost like a cave unless you see it from the right angle.  I painted this one with palette knife.  The painting I did previously of China Cove was also with palette knife which seems to work well with rocks and water.  I find that with palette knife I am able to get more paint down without disturbing the underlayers of paint so the color is cleaner.  I hope to learn to do this with a brush--something more to strive for...

Limestone Canyon-The Sinks

We travelled for at least 30 minutes crowded into the back of a truck over very rough trails to get to this location. It was well worth it! We were far away from civilization and could see no reminders of it so we were allowed to imagine how it must have been way back when. There was such a feeling of vastness that trying to incorporate it all in a painting (particularly a small painting) was quite a trick. This was a very unusual experience and I think all of our painters enjoyed it.
