Mid Century Carmel Monastery Beach California Impressionist Oil Painting

Beautiful impressionist style painting of iconic Monastery Beach in Carmel by Charles Hulett (American, 1903-1907), circa 1950. This painting displays Hulett's technical abilities as an artist and his affinity for the impressionist style with its classically high horizon, muted colors, loose painterly daubs of paint as brushstrokes. His palette knife work with the rocks and waves adds a dramatic flare and further dimension to the painting.
