Original artwork description:

In “Big Sur Coast Tranquility," I captured the essence of Big Sur's rugged beauty. The foreground features arched cliffs, their earthy tones contrasting with the changing hues of the ocean—shifting from turquoise near the shore to deeper blues further out. Bixby Bridge spans the distant horizon, its slender arch a testament to human engineering amidst nature's grandeur. The scene is enveloped in coastal fog, softening the outlines of the mountains and creating a sense of mystery as it delicately separates the ridges. Each brushstroke seeks to convey not just the visual spectacle but also the serene atmosphere of this iconic Californian landscape.
