Reverence

Studio painting informed and painted from a plein air study from Monterey. When arriving at this location at the end of the day and to be completely socked in by fog at first seemed to me like it was going to not work out in the painting. But as soon as I started to paint this I realized how beautiful and poetic this could be. I wanted to convey that wonder of the land from reaching towards the fog and the sea meandering out beyond with the subtle luminous blue grays and muted lavender grays as the last hint of sunlight barely glowed through the dense muffled Monterey fog so indicative of this area.
