\nNothing like momentum! First it was Kako-no-ike in Japan<\/a>, then twice in the high Sierra Nevada Mountains with the Mighty Tuolumne<\/a>. and Tenaya Lake<\/a>; and now the California coast. This is the fourth ‘vertical water’ painting recently done, and now becoming a series. This narrow inlet is along the California Coast in Garrapata State Park<\/a>. Just south of Carmel, and close to Big Sur, it is my favorite place to paint along the coast. I usually do one or two paintings there for the Carmel Art Festival each year.<\/p>\n

I painted this more alla prima (all at once), which didn’t take as long as the last two water paintings. Those last two, I let dry several times so I could glaze over the water. Below are a few snapshots of the progression. Click on each photo to see a larger version. Email subscribers may have to click on the above title to see them.<\/em><\/p>\n
