Original artwork description:

Jagged cliffs pummeled by surf line the Pacific Coast Highway along Big Sur, creating some of California's most memorable ocean vistas north of Carmel. The quintessential California drive seems to hug the Pacific coast, bringing you to the Bixby Bridge - one of the tallest single-span concrete suspension bridges in the world, and also one of the most photographed, due to its graceful architecture and magnificent setting. I often paint this view on location, setting my plein air easel right by the bridge. This painting is based on my many plein air studies of this area. I tried to preserve the freshness of impression with loose brush strokes, usually associated with painting on-site.

Materials used in creating this artwork: oil on oil double-primed Belgian linen mounted on an archival RayMar panel. The painting surface is protected with a coat of Gamvar varnish, the back of the panel is covered with melamine coating to prevent warping. The painting is unframed and will need a frame to hang on the wall. It will fit in a standard (USA) 9"x12" frame. Any images showing the painting framed in home interiors are for presentation of framing ideas only. The frame is not included.

Materials used:

oil paint, linen canvas, panel, varnish
