Carmel Beach

August 28, 2011 - 24" x 24" Acrylic on Canvas

The image is from a photo I took on our summer vacation, this past July, to the Monterey Bay Area.  On the first full day we had spectacular beach weather.  The sun was warm, the air was cool, a gentle breeze and the fog sitting low on the other side of the bay.

This is my first sea scape and I learned a lot.  I'm happy enough that I'll display it, but I have a number of other images from the same area that I intend to play with.

Details:  I kept the majority to only four paints:  Anthriquinone Blue, Hansa Yellow, Napthol Red, and Titanium White.  There's a tiny bit of Yellow Ochre and Raw Umber in the point.
