Over the Thanksgiving holiday, we traveled south and visited family and friends. One night, we stayed with our friends Michele and Mike who we have known for seventeen years. It was really great to spend some time with them. I was also glad to see an “old friend” – a painting I did for them proudly displayed in their living room. The image is of the coast of California – Pigeon Point to be exact – 50 miles south of San Francisco. The view is the south side of the lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in America at 115 ft http://www.parks.ca.gov/pigeonpoint/. The succulent plants that creep up and down the seaside cliffs turn from green to earthy browns, golden oranges and fiery reds. Most of the time this part of the coast is under a coat of fog, so we were lucky to visit on a clear day with just a few clouds in the sky. This painting was done over 10 years ago, but I recently did another painting from the north side. See if you can find the “sister” image on my website at http://www.mjnicole.com
