About the Artwork

The waves are rolling in layers of turquoise and teal, surfers carving lines across perfect breaks while palm trees frame the whole scene. This piece captures San Diego's coastline in warm peachy sands, creamy sunset clouds, and that specific California blue that hits different depending on the time of day. The composition draws your eye from the foreground palms through the surf action to the hillside homes tucked along the coast.

The retro poster aesthetic leans into mid-century travel art without feeling dated. Clean lines define the waves, stylized palms add drama, and the color palette stays warm even when depicting water. It's illustration work that knows when to simplify and when to add detail.

Surfers and Southern California natives will recognize this vibe immediately. Makes a solid gift for anyone who's ever chased waves or dreamed about coastal living. Beach town transplants tend to gravitate toward pieces like this.

This canvas wall art works great in home bars, coffee shops, or food truck interiors where you want that laid-back California energy. The horizontal format fits well above couches in living rooms or behind seating in cafes. Colors are warm enough to make any space feel a little more coastal.

Julian Mercer

Working construction in downtown Boston, I'd spend lunch breaks sketching pigeons and stray cats. After years of twelve-hour shifts, I started painting those same animals at night. Now my Fenway studio overlooks the park where those first sketches began.
