"Surf at Elk's Head" by Andrew Daniel
oil on wood 8" x 10" (20cm x 25cm)
available at my online shop
This painting is up at my show in the Arcata Marsh Interpretive center, until the end of the month.
I met up again with John Crater and we headed out to Elk's Head to paint the cliffs. The sun was out and the North wind hadn't picked up yet, which is unusual for this spot. We stayed there for about six hours, I was able to do two small studies, one of the cliffs and this one of the surf. It was a beautiful winter day, great to be out soaking in the sun while the rains subsided.
Hey Andrew, this one is my favorite of these latest 3 you've posted. They are all 3 excellent paintings but this one: such excellent colors and the surf is handled with turbulent simplicity. Definite bravo here!
ReplyDeleteHey I know that place! Awesome painting, amazing color. I'd enjoy painting with you next time I'm in that part of the woods. I go with Bjorn Lundeen and Jesse Leimer a lot. Cheers!
