Northern California Coast


This is my first seascape. I worked from a photo I took several years ago of a portion of the Northern California Coast, one of the most beautiful places in the world. I also attempted to paint more loosely. I tend to paint like I used to draw in college, very detailed and precise. This time I focused more on general shapes and color rather than detail.

this one came out very nice; you might consider a crop to keep painted areas in center. I like the darks you've used..makes it look rich!

Thanks for the suggestion, Holly. It definitely looks better and, again, I appreciate the encouragement.
