IT IS AN ISLAND


PEEK OF THE OCEAN
4 1/2" x 4 1/2"- pastel, white archival matte + 8" square, gold leaf scrolled frame
SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR
While staying at Catalina, I spent the entire second day hiking, painting and a whole lot of photoshooting because of the rain. And the view was mesmerizing!

The Conservancy's nursery technicians gave me a ride to Middle Ranch Road, centrally located within the Island. Senior technician, Peter Dixon suggested a route to follow to view the wild flowers. He also commented by following Eagle Nest Road to the peak, I could view the Ocean.

It was really amusing, for several hours passed while I dragged my equipment, stopped to paint or shoot before I arrived to this location and by then had forgotten I was on an Island! As I was searching for wildflower patches, I turned and stopped in my tracks. What a sight! And this is the petite pastel that I created of the scene.

  1. I love these colors, and there is so much movement. Feels like those days when the clouds are swirling. Would love to paint there in that area!

  2. Thanks for visiting Mary Anne and your kind words.
    Was a breathe-taking view and worth the hike.

MEMORIES AND FAVORITES

DIGNITY pastel SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR After the holidays, I begun to reminisce of people from my past.    Reflecting, I realize that life experiences have  enriched me greatly in so many ways.  Dignity is not only of a friend I lost touch with,  but also a personal, favorite painting that went to another home. Fond memories.... gone but not forgotten.
