The thrilling moment with Mian Situ.
Best Watercolor Award Carmel Art Festival 2017
Judge Mian Situ
The light in Carmel Valley is different, so close to the Ocean, it seems brighter, clearer there, the air is so clean. The land seems to glow at every time of day, but especially in the evening.
Here are the other paintings:
I pushed myself to paint this subject at the largest size I can paint in these plein air events, it is such a monumental hill, it reminds me of a Henry Moore Sculpture.
A Morning Hike 12 x 12
I painted framed and parked during the Quick draw in 2 hours on Sunday
morning.
I drove to Carmel River Beach Lagoon because the energy is so positive and there are lovely wildflowers in case the fog blocks the views. I concentrated my focus on the point of land and painted everything else in soft focus.
