Rock at El Matador Beach; Malibu, Oil Painting

2024

Artist Comments
Waves crash softly against a towering rock formation at El Matador Beach in Malibu. The sunlight illuminates the coastal scene, casting reflections on the water below. The sky, a gentle gradient of blue, enhances the serene atmosphere.

About the Artist
Growing up in California and Colorado, Elizabeth spent much of her formative years outdoors. “Exposure to nature early on planted the seed of landscape painting in me,” she says. She enjoyed spending time on her grandfather’s sunny sheep ranch and going to the beach with her grandmother. Her grandmother also would bring her to art galleries in Laguna Beach, where she was first introduced to California Impressionism. Today, Elizabeth lives in Tennessee and enjoys painting both outdoors and in her studio, a detached garage at her home. She has a keen interest in working with color and capturing the effects of light.
