This is a favorite of mine. The restless ocean meets the impassive cliffs on the water-swept beach. The tide comes in, and the tide goes out.
The waves are thick impasto. Their impact stands out. Some places show ocean spray against the rocks. The cliffs continue into the out-of-focus distance.
The verdant green grass inland is inviting. The sand and seaweed make moist beach colors, and you realize this artist has seen this with true eyes.
I don’t know the artist. I don’t know if it is a “starving artist.” I do know this is a fine work of art, and I love to look into it.
Is this location the black cliffs of Cornwell?
