Lighting Up A Foggy Day

This place in the springtime at the top of Point Dume when the coreopsis are in bloom will require another visit.  I have painted here several times and each time it has been one of those days which lifts your heart and makes you glad to be alive.  On the day when I painted this little study, I wasn't sure the "record" would hold because my time was so limited and it was a foggy day, but it did.


The bright yellow coreopsis flower had just begun to fill the mesa.  They really were "Lighting Up A Foggy Day".

 

 I wrote all about my adventures on the Point Dume Bluff.

Although, only a little study, and although I really went there to paint the glorious yellow coreopsis, it was the subtle shades on the far peninsula that framed the painting and which made me smile with satisfaction.

It amazes me how you can capture the fogginess. Lovely!

I usually don't do very well on foggy days, (subtlety isn't my strength) but this was special. Thanks...
