Story / Additional InfoThis painting was inspired by a trip to the Central coast of California near Los Osos. The artist discovered a place in the bay where two rocks made a heart shape when viewed from a certain angle. It was the anniversary of her husband's death and she was moved to paint this picture in his honor. The sun was setting on the water and the scene was very peaceful and renewing. She made several trips to this area to commemorate his memory since it was their special getaway place.
