Original artwork description:

The painting depicts a scene captured by the artist at Ocean Beach in San Diego just at the last moment of a sunset. Ocean Beach is a cozy little beach with a small town feel and a laid-back atmosphere. It's the kind of place where people greet one another as they cross paths. In the late 1960s, Ocean Beach became the Haight-Ashbury of San Diego. By 1967 – a year after the Ocean Beach Pier had officially opened – it was already evident that Ocean Beach was morphing into the San Diego equivalent of that fabled and iconic San Francisco neighborhood synonymous with “hippie-ism”. If you were a hippie or a hippie-wannabe during this time somewhere in San Diego, you ended up in Ocean Beach. The beach offers among other atrractions the only surfer’s only area around. Hundreds of surfers flock to this beach on a daily basis at their chance to catch the next “big one”.
The painting has a thin satin-glossy varnish layer.
