About the Item

Overlooking Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay - Plein Air Landscape in Oil on Canvas Gorgeous plein air landscape of Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay by Brian Rounds (American, b. 1968). Grey-purple clouds have rolled in over Santa Cruz around sunset, casting shadows and creating highlights in the city. Streaks of light shine through the clouds, and there is a yellow glow at the edge of the water in the distance. This piece is completed in a loose, abstracted style that captures the rapidly changing scenery. Signed and dated by the artist on verso. Unframed, but the artist has painted the edges black to allow for a frame-less display. Canvas size: 24"H x 30"W Acquired directly from the artist. Brian Rounds (American, b. 1968) is an award-winning artist who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and is now based out of Santa Cruz, California. Since earning a B.A. in Painting from UC Santa Cruz, he has focused on a continued commitment to plein air painting in oils, but also enjoys working in watercolor and various drawing media. His work has been shown at: Smith Gallery, UCSC; Pope Gallery, Santa Cruz; Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History; Winfield Gallery, Carmel; Many Hands Gallery, Capitola; Artisan’s Gallery, Santa Cruz; Mudzimu Gallery, Carmel; Pajaro Valley Arts Council, Watsonville; and Stripe Design Group, Santa Cruz. He has been nominated twice for the Rydell Grant.
