Acrylic on canvas painting of a barn swallow flying in the sky near the ocean above fields with California poppies

My most recent painting. Evening with a barn swallow clicking, chirping, and swirling above my favorite spot, and the Monterey Bay as the backdrop.

Feels like a self-portrait.

Just finished. This was a joy to paint. Somewhere magical a bit north of Santa Cruz. Sand dune plants. High clouds. Cold breeze. Bright sun. Hills still green from winter rains.

Acrylic on canvas.
