Caesarea

I worked on Caesarea at sunset, as the sun touched the wispy clouds with gold and painted the azure Mediterranean a rich cobalt blue. I worked at a frantic pace as I struggled to keep up with the setting sun. I think you’ll note the broken colors and the bold brush strokes that give Plein Air studies like this their energy and dramatic power.

Caesarea shows all that remains of the important Roman port from which the new religion spread and though it may not be a vigorous port any longer, I certainly attempted to make my Caesarea a vigorous painting.
