Point Lobos Cliffside
Oil on Linen Panel
9" x 12"
I had the opportunity to visit my brother in Monterey California earlier this year, and while not able to paint, I took a lot of great photo reference in one of my favorite places in the world: Point Lobos. In this piece I was trying to capture the drama of the gnarled and windswept Monterey Cypress perched on a high cliff above the churning sea below.
