Center Panel Triptych work in progress

I've worked my way back around to this triptych. I started this several months ago and had to put it aside to focus on other work. You can see parts of the
under painting in this post, and the triptych in progress below.

Triptych work in progress

This painting is inspired by El Matador State Beach - one of those places that I've been motivated to paint
again and
again. It's a beautiful beach, as are many on the California coast, and unique in character, as they all are. This one seems to have that golden light set off by the drama of the rock formations, very different from the
coastline further north.
Although El Matador is not on the list for closure, 70 or so other state parks are. This represents about 1/4 of all of our state parks and will affect residents and tourists alike, as well as many local businesses that serve park visitors. If you are planning to visit any California State Parks this summer you may want to
