Here is a recent painting of the poppies that have been blooming at point lobos over the last couple of months. I spent a number of days painting field studies out there, and this is the large studio work that came from those studies.
at this point in the painting i decided the foreground needed
to be reorganized, eliminating the bushes in the
extreme foreground so the viewers eye entered the painting
from the right side of the canvas
more editing and adjusting shapes and values and
temperatures of the grass and poppies
the finished painting is at the top
