Story / Additional InfoThe artist has painted many works from her time spent at the central coast, especially, the sleepy little town of Cayucos. In this work however, she focuses on the road to the beach town. There is one spot she has noticed where a bit of the ocean first peeks into view and that is what she is capturing here in breathtaking sunlit colors. The colors seemed to be splashed on the canvas in a lively array catching the mood of excitement for the sun drenched days ahead. The artist was influenced by David Hockney's convoluted landscapes that seem to follow their own rules. It's all about shape and color and perceived movement. The landscape seems to come alive as she flies past it on the way to rest and renewal.
