Big breakers on the coast always makes for an exciting day of painting.  The challenge of trying to capture the constant movement and variety never gets old.

This is a plein air piece done in oil on linen mounted on a cradled mastonite panel.

I hiked down some cliffs and some distance to capture this view along the coast.  My hike out was reflected by the other intrepid sole who came out as far, and I had the pleasure of working him into the composition.

This is oil on board (gatorboard), and is being made available unframed.  Call to discuss framing options.

On comission, I took a 2 day trip down to Carmel to paint a particular scene.  In the afternoons I took time to paint some different locations, including this piece that drew my attention with the glow of the rocks in shadow.

One morning on the coast I found myself socked in by fog.  I started driving south, and eventually I found a hole in the weather. The day just started to open up as I was painting, revealing the most beautiful and fleating lighting effects on the cliffs.

This is a studio piece done from studies from that outing.  It is oil on stretched linen canvas.

This piece is on unmounted linen canvas.  It comes unframed.

I was out painting on the coast all day, and as the started to set it started to light the foam off the waves with a magical glow.

Then someone climbed out on the rocks to get a better view, and it put the whole scene in a new perspective.  The scale of the breakers and the magic of the moment were both amplified.  This is a moment I won't soon forget.

This painting is on a museum wrapped canvas suitable for hanging.  It does not come with a frame.  Contact me if you'd like to discuss framing options.

I painted this along 17-mile drive in Pebble Beach at a famous overlook called "Ghost Tree".
