Oil pastels and oil paint on canvas.
"Topanga Canyon Sunset" emerges as a testament to the serendipitous interplay between intention and chance in the art-making process. Initially prepared with an abstract assemblage of shapes and textures, the canvas sat untouched for a month, only to reveal upon revisiting, a sun-shaped form that seemed almost preordained to be there. This fortuitous discovery guided the artist's hand, leading to the creation of this masterful representation of a sunset over Topanga Canyon.

The painting is distinguished by its highly textured surface, where thick, robust brushstrokes convey the dynamic, ever-changing skies and the lush, undulating landscape below. The bold, swirling sun dominates the composition, its radiant orange hue imbued with an intensity that pulsates throughout the work. The entire piece is sealed with a high-quality varnish, enhancing both its vibrancy and durability.

"Topanga Canyon Sunset" is not only a unique artistic accomplishment but also an exclusive acquisition. It is ready to ship, promising to bring a piece of transient natural beauty into any collection. This work, highlighted in the popular newsletter, The Three Tomatoes, offers an unparalleled blend of artistic foresight and rarity, making it a highly coveted piece for those who appreciate the unique and the sublime.
