"A Stop Along Highway 1" © 16 x 20

I was attracted to this scene along the Pacific Coast Highway because of all of the colors I saw in the cliffs and in the ocean. The ocean was showing its array of colors, ranging from greens, to blues, to violets. Also, I liked the atmospheric perspective. Atmospheric perspective is the way things in the background appear grayer, cooler and paler as they recede. There is nothing like the ocean to soothe the soul!

  2. Thanks Larry. This painting seems to be a favorite with people. I think it's because it has a feeling of serenity. I guess I do have a great "job". Being an artist isn't as easy as some may think but it's better than being stuck behind a desk!
