Usal Beach, Mendocino County
67"
x 29", 1994
Oil on canvas
"Usal Beach was a favorite camping spot. It was also my first
large painting.
I was very
insecure when I began and appreciated the encouragement of my
instructor. After I realized that the painting was succeeding
in capturing the beauty of the scene, I really began enjoying
the process.
I, through
paint and brush, could actually be there! In one painting I was
able to combine all the aspects I appreciated."
