'If It Once Was Different, It Can Be Different Again' is a large contemporary oil on canvas landscape painting created by American artist Doug Foltz in 2021.

My fascination with graphic composition and shifting light have always pushed paintings that I hope open new views of both the expanse and the detail of the coastal landscape.
