Monterey Dunes

We frequently walk by this scene along the trails of Ft Ord Dunes State Park near our home in Marina, CA, and I have talked about it numerous times. I have painted this immediate area several times, but from an entirely different viewpoint several yards away. You can see those here and here. The other day as we embarked on our walk, the sun was hitting the dunes at just the right angle to illuminate the scene, and I determined it just had to be painted. Fresh off the easel, here is Monterey Dunes.
