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!

"The Big Apple"

8 x 10 oil on canvas panel (unframed)

I just love a big, shiny, red apple! I remember the ones that my mom always put in my school lunch, which I quickly traded for a friend's vanilla wafers filled with marshmallow creme. Who could resist? I did not think about the apple's beauty then, but if we had traded on the basis of beauty, then of course my apple would have been the object of desire.
