Glorious combination of figuration and landscape with ocean-scape from celebrated living American Realist Willard Dixon who has spent a lifetime capturing the West with its grand and humble spirit. The exceptional work comes framed with a natural and contemporary hard wood framing. 'Evening Beach' is 43 x 65 inches. The work is featured in the artists's newest book, Evening Light.
