Seacliff, Santa Cruz
Series of beach scenes based on modified photos from Seacliff beach in Santa Cruz. The original photos had the bluest skies, that were too blue to be real. In my efforts to find a more realistic sky, I became enthralled by their modifications and choose to paint them. Some light and impressionistic, some dark and surreal.
All paintings are 22" x 24" and are oil on canvas.
