DAPPLED LIGHT

SOLD

DAPPLED LIGHT stream through the large branches of Californian oaks whenever one goes to The Corkscrew Café. This quaint restaurant lies in the heart of Carmel Valley Village, CA where the sun ALWAYS shines! And so I tried to capture it in this scene by juxta positioning intense yellows against cool blues.
