Private and Sacred Path
Another path to the coast to a house in Cambria. Done one vacation a while back, recently touched up. Can't fix the even horizon line though. Oil 6x8
Oil 8x10 on linen board. This is In Sierra Madre, a side access entrance to the retreat of a Group of Holy Father Christ like religious dudes who will be mega rich when they finally sell the land they are on. It's the last and largest undeveloped piece of property in the area. There Holy sects title escapes me at the moment. It's something like" Sacred Divinity Brothers of the Bleeding Baby Jesus" or something. It sounds vaguely pedophileish these days. I've painted several of the paths there, this being the latest. The composition is slightly blocked by the elements that literally block the path, but folks tell me it's not an issue.

Very cool! I don't know if I'd want to be a kid and get stuck on this trail, though.
I think the blockage adds to the comp.
Good one. You know how much I like your path paintings.
Will... I wouldn't mind a walk down that path anytime. The color choice gives it a warm and inviting appeal. Cool how you use the tree to keep the viewer from wandering off frame while following the path. Really an enjoyable work.
Beautiful painting. The blockage helps tell the story - no problem. I love your color choices.
Very inspiring, William. I intend to sneak in a landscape or two this summer (my first attempts) because of some of the work you've shared.
Love the color palette on the Cambria painting... Nice work!
I especially like the Cambria painting, the horizon doesn't bother me. Nice thick paint, interesting orange sky and contrasting blue horizon. The cool blue-green foreground is a nice touch.

I really like the color harmony and composition in Cambria. Nice work on both.
Wonderful painings!! Love the mood in these pieces.
Love the house in Cambria painting... the muted colors are really nice. Is this an evening piece?
The colors in the top painting are super nice. I am especially drawn to the sky.
I like the cool colored foreground leading to the warm path on the top painting.

Love the colors in these Bill
