Monterey Cypress
Original Oil 11 x 14 inches
Museum Wrapped Canvas
By Phyllis O'Shields
My Inspiration: 17 Mile Drive, Monterey, California,
Point Lobos, Pacific Grove Californai, Big Sur Highway 1.
Big Sur and the entire Monterey Coastal area is one of Nature’s Magical Places. I lived on Seventeen Mile Drive for a couple of years and enjoyed painting the entire coastline in all kinds of weather and at all times of day. I will enjoy sharing these paintings with you as time goes by. Although not a tropical subject which I usually paint, this Monterey Coastal area holds an important place in my portfolio of works.
Highway 1 in Big Sur is a designated American National Scenic Byway. This highway is unique and has something distinct to offer- Big Sur has a long list of unique features to enhance your visit to Big Sur coast that make Big Sur's designation stand out. Artists and non artists alike will find the winding highway without compare.
Highway 1 in Big Sur is famous as one of the crown jewels of the America's Byways program. Along this beautiful coastal highway it is not unusual to see soaring California Condors, migrating Gray, Humpback and Blue whales. In the southern part of Big Sur you can drive right up to the beach and witness the annual mating rituals of the elephant seals. December through February is the peak of the season when the large males are competing for their mates. This can make for some very exciting viewing. Hope you can visit this area….
