The Cliffs


The sun was shining and the wind was whistling through the grove of cypress  trees that I was huddled between as I painted the cliffs off the Mendocino shore.  It is the same location as my last post and the stark beauty of the open land and how it cascaded down the cliffs to the raging surf totally inspired me.  The view was spectacular.  How lovely it was to have, "A Painting Day".

Fantastic textures and colors. The dark areas give so much depth and I love the touches of yellow and orange.

Such strong, vibrant work, Ruth. Your colors are wonderful. I'm so glad you're continuing to explore the palette knife. Love what you're doing with it.
