Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
This is a painting of my kids balcony that overlooks the Sea of Cortes at high tide, in Rocky Point, Mexico. The sandbar you see, divides a large estuary from the beach and sea. At full high tide the estuary fills with water and makes for this gorgeous scene. This is the view they have from their living room. I love visiting here, and their balcony is a wonderful place to have a cold beer or a glass of fine red wine! Absolutely beautiful sunsets from here! This was a commissioned painting for my beloved daughter and son! It now hangs in their Arizona cabin.

What a wonderful view! All the details are exquisitely painted!
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Some have said my style resembles the art of Edward Hopper. I am totally flattered and honored by that. Still this is a style I used all the way back to 1977...airbrush art on custom vans and trucks. Thank you very much, Chance!
