#205 – Transfixed

This monterey cypress tree is fortunate to witness this serene horizon everyday; the iconic viewpoint from Pebble Beach in California. The dwindling sun is casting a stunning array of cobalt violet and light magenta hues across the slow moving linear waves. With every focal point, you can feel the dusky glow of the evening sun wash over you. The warm palette of the water and sky is complemented by shades of red iron oxide pigments detailing the rocky cliff. The feathery needles of the cypress tree and the meandering ground foliage are completed in layers of diarylide yellow and chromium green oxide.
