natural wonder 2, 2019, Acrylic on canvas, 36 x 48 inches

This 36 x 48 inch original painting in blue, green, pink and white is a reminder of the awe and wonder often experienced in nature.  Standing back from a breathtaking view of lush green cliffs and pale pinkish earth the ocean is seen far below. It reminds me of California terrain from the top of a high mountain. The colors and textures play a role in creating the natural wonder. 

One can almost feel a gentle breeze and the faint scent of the distant ocean comes to mind. The vantage point of the scene implies a vast expanse of beauty. The memories of such a place create a sense of humbleness and reverence.  This nature inspired painting brings to mind moments when we have been able to immerse ourselves in the splendor of nature.
