Carmel-by-the-Sea is always beautiful but I think I like the town the most in the winter. Fewer tourists. Less fog. The sunset view above is painted from a perfect spot on Scenic Avenue at 8th where the view is framed by an old cypress and the surf sounds serve as a backdrop. Here are a few other Carmel views from the trip.
My husband and I enjoyed a recent trip to Carmel which included opportunities for plein air painting. Sometimes, plein air painting involves some degree of discomfort … cold, heat, glare, wind. This time early morning and sunset views of the town of Carmel with the pacific ocean in the background were painted from the balcony of our hotel room. Such luxury!
