9x12 original gouache

This watercolor gouache painting captures Big Sur in its springtime glory, where rolling green hills meet the rugged cliffs of California’s most dramatic coastline. Waves crash in rhythmic bursts against stone, while poppies and morning glories nod in the ocean breeze, their colors echoing the gold and blue of the land and sea. The scene hums with vitality—an untamed harmony between earth and water, sky and bloom.
