West Coast – Mix Media – 11X14

Description

This abstract piece is an ode to the coastal forest, bathed in summer light and misty sea air. Inspired by the landscapes of the West Coast, it captures the golden warmth of sunlight filtering through evergreens, the ocean’s shimmer on wet trunks, and the scent of wind drifting in from the shore.

Created with mixed media — acrylic, oil, oil pastel, and marker — the painting merges texture and emotion. Layers build upon one another like the changing seasons, forming a vibrant depth where each color seems to breathe. Shades of green, gold, and blue blend together, evoking both the vitality and tranquility of the coastal woods.

This abstract composition invites the viewer to feel rather than see — to be carried by the memory of the place, by that wild yet soothing energy unique to summertime on the West Coast.
