This California coastal landscape depicts the rugged cliffs of Montecito crowned with windswept trees and native brush. Warm earth tones and layered rock formations are balanced by soft sky tones, capturing the natural light and quiet strength of the terrain. Edwards’ controlled brushwork and attention to texture give the scene depth and a strong sense of place.
