Title

Coast of Granite Creek

Description

Artwork created by Bennett Bradbury envisions a coastal region with waves crashing up against rocky cliffs. Bradbury's work captures the beauty and power that the ocean possesses as the waves surge upwards as they meet the jagged coast. The vibrant turquoise and deep cobalt hues used contrasts against the white sea foam generated by the water's force. The salty ocean spray reaches beyond the waves as the droplets mist the rocks. The faint pink hint of a sunset graces the underside of the clouds that stretch across a blue sky. This painting evokes the strength of our natural world and the innate beauty which it possesses.
