I was drawn to this scene by the glow in the water and the contrast created by the rocks.  I love the ocean, and nothing makes me happier than a day painting on the coast.  This was from one of those special days - up early, out in the dark for a 2 hour drive, and then the magic as the day breaks open and unfolds.

Outside frame dimensions measure 19 x 22 inches.  This is framed in a hand leafed warm silver frame with closed corners and museum glass.

I painted this in crazy hot weather by standing in the water under a bridge to survive the 100+ degree heat.  I have great memories from the day, I just kept dunking myself fully clothed in the water to stay wet, and I just had to be careful not to get carried away by the currents.  Good times.

This painting is framed in a beautiful custom-made solid wood frame with a warm silver leafing.  The painting is from a trip I took (in 100-degree weather) to the American River in the foothills of the California Sierra mountains.  You can read more about the trip here:
