About the Item
East Santa Cruz (California) is a striking original oil painting on canvas board by noted California artist Jon Blanchette (1908–1987). This evocative landscape features a bright yellow farmhouse set against a backdrop of dramatic dark gray storm clouds, capturing the natural beauty and emotional contrast of the California coast. Blanchette’s expert use of light and color creates a compelling sense of both tranquility and approaching tension.
Painted in the mid-20th century, this work reflects Blanchette’s signature romantic realism and deep connection to the California landscape. The painting is presented in a custom frame using archival materials. Framed dimensions: 21 ¾ x 25 ¾ x 1 ½ inches, image size: 16 x 20 inches
About the Artist:
Born in England, Blanchette studied at the Pittsburgh Art Institute and later worked as a set designer for Fox Studios. After settling in Aptos, California, in 1948, he focused on fine art, exhibiting throughout Santa Cruz County and teaching workshops. He was a member of the Santa Cruz Art League and the Marin County Artists.
