Ridges of Light- Malibu Creek State Park

Walking along the trail at Malibu State Park you can see amazing scenes at every turn. This view in particular stopped me in my tracks. I was so struck by this vision, it held my gaze until I got to just the right place to record it. After one study in plein air, I decided to continue with a studio painting. When I look at this piece it still holds my gaze as if looking upon it for the very first time, entranced by the ridges of pure light and color.

18" x 24" Oil Painting

Hi Lorelle,
thought I'd say hello again...
This is a very delightful painting. Not only the landscapes look wonderful - there is some mystery in this painting, a promise...
I can fully understand that you love this region and I wished I could see it in reality!
Greetings, Petra
