Chasing the light at Pt. Molate. 🌊🎨
These plein air studies were all about the “big picture.” Instead of getting lost in the details, I focused on quick impressions—trying to bottle up the shifting San Pablo breeze and the way the tide hits the shore before the scene changed entirely.
There’s something so freeing about painting fast to keep up with nature. Which one captures the mood best for you?
