Zach and I went to Pismo beach and up to Hearst Castle for our New Years weekend getaway. We stopped at the butterfly grove...I heard it was amazing. We came prepared with binoculars, but I think we only saw like 20 butterflies! Disappointing! Luckily we had lots of other things to do. And the light while we were there was just gorgeous.
I really like how this painting turned out, even though I was painting on canvas which I usually hate :) One day I'll get these bluff trees right, they're still not exactly how I want them. Much closer than my first attempts though :)
Everyone in Carp know exactly where this tree is. I've painted it many times before, but the light on it was especially good this day, so here it is again.
