Since the early days of the Monterey Peninsula artists’ colony, a certain mystical quality has lured painters to the area. Artists like Charles Rollo Peters accentuated that quality by painting the Peninsula in the moonlight. Kim Lordier‘s pastel “Point Lobos Magic” proves that the spell endures.
Framed in a 3-1/2″ wide stained oak cove profile with two carved elements: a cushion back edge and raised strap near the sight edge. Both of those elements have paint rubbed into them in the blue and green of the painting. A gilt slip adds the finishing touch.
“Point Lobos Magic” is just one of 63 paintings featured in Beloved California IX, our current all-gallery show celebrating the Northern California landscape. Kim was here last Saturday taking part in a well-attended and festive opening reception. She not only got lots of props, but sold another seascape—the 12″ x 16″ “Rolling In” (at right)—to a long-time fan.
Beloved California IX is on through December 28. Come and enjoy it!
