Rebecca Arguello

Headlands at Point Lobos

Oil on wood panel, 11" x 14", $1,800

Point Lobos is an incredibly inspiring ecological goldmine and a destination must-see in California. I did some plain air composition and color sketches before I created this piece in studio. My focus was on the subtle value and hue shifts within the shadows. But that sandstone rim light drew me in. Absolutely beautiful. I could paint a million years and never capture its natural beauty.
