About the Artwork

A long wave curls in from the right in bands of turquoise, teal, and lavender, with one surfer standing up on the face, another riding just behind, and a third paddling out on a board near the shallows. To the left, a sandstone cliff with a natural sea arch runs out into the water, a lone tree on top and two small figures sitting on the edge to watch. The sun sits low on the horizon, laying a golden path across the water under a sky of peach, coral, and pale blue.

The impressionist oil style builds everything from short, square-ish dabs of paint. Up close it reads as a mosaic of color; step back and it turns into shimmering sea light and soft evening glow. Lilac and cream strokes mark the foam, while warm tan and ochre shape the sandy beach in the lower left.

Surfers and Southern California natives will recognize this vibe right away. It makes a solid gift for anyone who has ever chased waves or watched the sun go down from a coastal bluff.

This canvas wall art suits living rooms, home bars, or coffee shops that want laid-back California energy. The horizontal format fits nicely above a couch or behind cafe seating.

Some old guy on a bench in the Public Garden told me I paint the pigeons better than the swan boats. Rude, but fair. These days I give both equal time, along with the brownstones on Beacon Hill, in quick bright strokes before the light moves. The pigeons still get the best colors.
