Reefs and Rocks Sea of Cortez

$395.00

The stunning inland Sea of Cortez reaches up the Baha in Sonora, Mexico, to within 75 miles of the Arizona USA border.  It's a lovely stretch of natural sandy beach dotted with rocky outcroppings and living reefs, with deeply retreating tides that vary the seashore dramatically, and provide abundant sea life all it needs, with plenty left for humans to enjoy.  This painting is only 7" x 5" and was painted on a cradled birch board, on site a little ways up Sandy Beach, at not entirely low tide, but enough for the reefs to show themselves and lagoons to form.  The mahogany seaweed along the shore, and a bit of litter, including shells and sea glass make the place so worthy of walking and wading. It is always magical to see the sky and sea show off their always changing blues and greens, and is that sand tan, or pink, or sparkling yellow today?
