This plein air painting is a view from the Pismo Dunes looking inland towards the Monarch Grove. The ocean is to my left across the dunes and sandy beach offering slow rolling waves sparkling in the distance. What I wanted to capture was the morning light just grazing the distant dunes and trees, from the cool shade of the pines and cypress trees. This was the largest painting that I created during the San Luis Obispo Plein Air Festival.
Oil on Linen, 16" X 20"
On Friday morning each artist turned in six plein air paintings from the week to the museum staff and chose three to be hung for jurying. After the exhibition opening night the artists could hang additional artwork to their portion of the walls. The exhibit was hung beautifully and the staff could not have been more professional in handling the artwork. It was a real pleasure to participate in the event.
