Montara Beach today

[Bartc]

Out at Montara Beach with the painting group today. Lovely weather, large turnout, some very good paintings. I got two: 8x10" pastel on Sienna PastelMat; 6x4" ink & watercolor on paper. B. Charlow 2024, Montara, CA.

Wow! I love both of these. Both are real beauties!

Love the second piece ... excellent comp.

Both are great but the colors in the first one are so beautiful! Maybe they are slightly enhanced from reality but they sing!

Much less artistic license than you might imagine, but you know I'm fond of color, Donna.
Note that the photo was taken a couple of hours later than the painting was done, so lighting angle and intensity, plus saturation changed from early morning to noon.
