The isolation that came to Big Sur this year when wet weather closed several roads has deepened with a giant mudslide across Highway 1, just south of the small community of Gorda (Monterey County).

A quarter-mile-wide wall of mud and rock barreled over an oceanfront stretch of road Saturday night, fortunately on a section of the highway where there was no traffic because the area was already closed due to smaller slides.

The new slide is certain to postpone the opening of Highway 1 at Big Sur’s southern end, a link to the dramatic coastline that was expected to open in mid-June.

Thank you. I paint the entire thing with a brush that is about 1/8 wide and 1/4 inch long. Also, with a magnifying glass.

One painting takes about a month and a half of 4 days a week at between 8 to 12 hours.

It’s hard work but I do love it. Mostly I love it when I’m done, lol.
