This original vintage oil painting by Jon Blanchette (1908–1987), titled “Harbor Master’s House, Santa Cruz, California,” beautifully captures the charm of California’s coastline. Painted in the 1950s–1960s, this serene American Impressionist landscape depicts Santa Cruz’s coastal cottages, swaying palm trees, and tranquil harbor views, evoking the relaxed elegance of mid-century California life.
Rendered in soft, harmonious tones of blue, green, beige, and white with warm accents of red and brown, Blanchette’s brushwork reflects his mastery of light and atmosphere. The painting is signed lower right and titled on the verso, and comes in a custom dark brown frame.
