Couple More ...

I took full advantage of the break in winter weather and got out to the coast twice last week.  I lucked out - it was truly beautiful.  To top it off, Kim Lordier joined me on the send day to make it even more fun.

Here are the two I painted that 2nd day with Kim ...

"Pink Bluffs", Pastel, 8x10





Orange Bluffs, Pastel, 9x12

Pastel
9x12
I loved how the morning marine layer was undulating in and out, obscuring the lower mountains in the distance and making it appear as if the mountain peaks were floating in a sea of glowing mist.
