Both energetic and serene, this piece celebrates the beauty, freedom, and atmosphere of the California coast.

Inspired by an early morning sketching trip to the Moss Landing Marina in the Monterey Bay, this large-scale coastal painting captures the soft atmospheric light, reflective harbor waters, and lively energy of the working waterfront as seabirds circled and called overhead and low over the waterline.
Built with expressive palette knife texture, the piece balances quiet morning tones with moments of warmth and movement, creating depth, atmosphere, and a strong sense of place grounded in California’s coastal landscape.
