"Whaler's Cabin" Honorable Mention 2001 Carmel Art Festival, Carmel, CA |
If you look where the red arrow is
pointing, you will see Phil hard at work painting this
immense scene. This west
coast event provided quite an enjoyable challenge for Phil.
Even though it was foggy
a lot of the time, the coast provided beautiful scenery to put
on canvas.
