CALIFORNIA COAST III


"California Coast III" 16x20" acrylic/board......done again with palette knife. Comments welcomed. Brian

this is a 30x40" acrylic. It's similar to one I've done previously--I really like glasses of water and reflections and shadows and all that. I might whiten up the brights here a bit... maybe too much chroma in there.
