Last week I had the privilege of traveling to Carmel to paint "En Plein Air".  I say privileged because this is a very beautiful place and I think for the first time in my many visits the weather was nearly perfect for three days!  No fog and literally no clouds at all.  I wasted no time in getting out to the coast and painting.  I think that I really captured the beauty of the coast between Carmel and Big Sur;  in my heart anyway!  If you've never been there you are missing one of the most beautiful places on earth!

My first painting entitled "South of Rocky Point" was painted "yep" just south of Rocky Point just along Highway One looking south over some gorgeous pasture land where some Hereford cows are often grazing.

That afternoon I back tracked toward Carmel had lunch, checked into my hotel and went into the PT Lobos Reserve about two miles south of Carmel.  I painted a scene off the walking trail just south of Cypress Point facing south.  The sun was just beginning to make its descent into the sea.  The painting is entitled "Early Evening Surf".

I hope you like my effort as much as I enjoyed the plein air painting in the gorgeous weather!.
