This is a charming coastal painting of the cloudy California bluffs, wildflowers and ocean. It is painted in the area of Summerland near Santa Barbara. The painting features vibrant colors in the wildflowers while the rest of the painting reflect the cloudy day. The painting is framed in a gold leaf Arts & Crafts style wide frame making it measure 20 1/2'' wide by 19'' high framed. It is from my own collection and it is in excellent condition.
