Olompali State Historic Park US-101
18 x 24 inches | Gouache and Acrylic on Paper Mounted Board
Original Artwork by Carrie Bergey
Contemporary impressionist landscape with expressive and gestural mark-making, painted in gouache and acrylic.

In Olompali State Historic Park US-101, Carrie Bergey captures the layered richness of a Marin County landscape with expressive texture and tonal nuance. Working in gouache and acrylic, she evokes the luminous greens of rolling pastureland, softened by the shifting shadows of live oaks and the dense woodlands that border the hills. Strokes of teal and electric blue animate the reflective water in the foreground, introducing a visual rhythm that contrasts the stillness of the land.

The painting balances immediacy and structure-its gestural marks and saturated hues hint at fleeting light, while the composition holds firm in its grounded perspective. The result is both observational and interpretive, offering a vivid impression of place.

Rendered in a palette of blue, green, black, teal, and grey, this original work conveys a deep attentiveness to California's natural terrain-particularly the subtle beauty found just off the highway.
