"Carmel River Beach"

"Carmel River Beach" by J Joy Nocifora ©2011
8x10" oil on linen canvas panel

This was painted on a bright sunny day at the serene, Carmel River Beach. It was heavenly to be there painting this scene. My hubby, Peter, brought his beach chair and book and relaxed while I painted. We did not want to leave, but my feet got tired!

Garrapata California Cliffs

"Garrapata California Cliffs" by J Joy Nocifora ©2011
8x10 oil on linen panel (unframed)

Peter and I had the most marvelous vacation in San Francisco and Carmel. It was especially exciting that the American Impressionist Society held their annual show in Carmel this year and what a gorgeous show it was! I loved meeting all the great artist who also attended and enjoyed fun dinners and lunches with artist friends, Deb Groesser, Lori Putnam, Anne Blair Brown, Sherrie Levine, to name a few.
Painting the breathtaking views while standing atop the cliffs in Garrapata Park was beyond words. You just want to sit there and soak it up for as long as you can. I don't pretend to think that I give justice to the beauty of this awesome scene, but I sure enjoyed painting it!
