Plein Air Paintings, Nepenthe

Two New Fine Art Prints from the studio of Erin Lee Gafill

Most of the time the deck at Nepenthe is a pretty busy place, but last spring for several weeks, Big Sur was an Island, cut off to the north and south. During that time the weather was sublime and the sky clear as a bell. Erin spent a full week on the deck plein air painting a series of beautiful paintings facing east and facing south.

We are releasing two new fine art prints based on two of these paintings. These prints are available in four sizes as listed below.
