Miniature oil painting (4x4 inches) of Angel Island - San Francisco Bay Area. This is a recent piece created for my daughter's school art auction. The texture of the canvas was pretty pronounced at that size, so it was an interesting challenge. Painting on location, with windy conditions. Also, a big thanks to everyone who has signed up for the June workshop!

An intimate little picture which I like very much.
Beautiful light and composition mood in a limited Coloring. Have you used Ultramarine for the blue tones?

Hi Pierangelo,

Thanks for your comment and yes I did use a touch of ultramarine blue as well as cobalt blue. The blues were muted down a bit with umber gray tones as well.
