I have a new project, a commission, so the Big Sur Coastline painting I was working
on (see bottom of page) will just have to wait. This is a field of strawberries
on Elkhorn Ranch, a farm on which Naturipe berries are grown, that backs up against
Elkhorn Slough. The land has been left fallow this year, but I was given a tour
of another field so I could photograph strawberry plants to my heart’s content. Below

Thanx for visiting!

In February 2010, my husband and I spent a few days exploring the coast south of Carmel. We stopped for lunch at Nepenthe, a restaurant perched high on a mountain overlooking the Big Sur coastline. There’s a large terrace for outdoor dining, and this was our view. I’ve been wanting to paint this ever since. I’m working on stretched linen, 14 x 18, with oils.
I’ll add more photos here as I continue painting. Thanx for visiting!
