Original artwork description:

I’ve painted many of the cottages at Crystal Cove, each holding its own story. What now feels like a tranquil haven for beachgoers and hikers is also a place steeped in history, with more than 40 documented sites and centuries of human presence woven into the landscape.

This plein air piece was born on the sand, painted in the quiet shade of my umbrella as the sea stretched before me.

Materials used:

Linen canvas, oils, varnish
