Description

Two people walking at the water's edge, another pair up ahead with a dog, the surf running in low and calm, the cypress forest dark and solid along the top of the bluff, ice plant and purple flowers along the dune in the foreground. A completely ordinary afternoon on Carmel beach, which is to say a very good afternoon. The watercolor palette is clean and well observed, the particular blue-green of the water at the shoreline, the warm white of the sand, the deep near-black of the pines against a pale sky. The figures are just the right size, small enough that the beach feels expansive, present enough that it feels inhabited. The brushwork is relaxed and assured throughout. The matte canvas finish suits the bright, open palette perfectly. Gallery-stretched on a slim 1.25" pine frame and ready to hang out of the box, it's for anyone who has walked that beach on a clear afternoon, or anyone who simply wants a California coast painting that looks exactly like what it is.
