Category: Seascape Art    Title:  Sunset Harbor Fog at morro Bay -Art Print    By:  Susanne Leasure
<br /><br /><br /><br />Inspired by the powerful ocean swells in China Cove of Point Lobos California, this painting is an excellent example of Susanne Renee Leasure\'s talent for rendering her appreciation for natural beauty. This work of art is 24 inches high and 30 inches across unframed.<br /><br /> This is a special place where small boats rest on the shore waiting for high tide. At the edge of this natural estuary, California’s largest, one can smell the salt air and feel a light breeze. In the background of this nautical scene is Morro Rock. Seagulls, egrets, cranes, cormorants and brown pelicans can bee seen residing in this grand estuary adjacent to Morro Bay. Although the original has sold, archival quality, limited edition giclee art reproductions on art paper or canvas are presently still available. Each hand enhanced print is re-touched with paint by Susanne herself! Every signed print comes with a certificate of authenticity. Purchase your wall art limited edition print before the edition is sold out. Open edition decorative art prints are also available. See An exelent example of Susanne Leasure's eye for beauty in dimensional settings. This place seems too beautiful to true. However, it has been painted from Susanne Renee Leasure’s actual experience of McWay Falls in the Big Sur area on the California coast. The waterfall pouring into the ocean side drops from over 70 feet to the beach below and is scooped out to sea by turquoise waves. It is a spectacular site to see.

Archival quality fine art reproductions of this wall art are available. Select from “Related Products” to find available sizes and pricing. This wall art painting reflects one of many moments Susanne Leasure is famous for portraying so well. Viewing this beach scene puts you on silky wet sand laced with tiny stones smoothed over by the ocean’s caressing waves. You can almost feel the occasional pebble between your toes. The same light that illuminates the incoming waves accents the jagged cliffs with glowing orange hues. Notice the water dripping from the cliffs, a residual spill of the last passing wave. Do you want to bring light, motion and mood into a room in a pleasant way? If so, then perhaps this is the perfect nautical seascape for your wall. Avila Beach, one of California's hidden seaside-gems, is situated in a sheltered bay, a short drive from Highways 101 and 1, mid-way between Los Angeles and San Francisco, just south of San Luis Obispo. Avila is one of those amazing beaches with gently sloping sand that encourages waders and young body boarders to venture into the sea. Avila Beach with its pristine coastline and awesome views has provided an exquisite location for weddings and honeymoons. A striking work of wall art, this painting is both a seascape and a landscape. Reflections of golden coastal cliffs on serene wet sands create a peaceful mood while providing vibrancy and color for your interior design. Susanne Renée Leasure’s hand painted oil art nicely displays the abstract reflections of the Avila, California bluffs glowing in the late sun. If you wish to study and appreciate this painting more closely, select “view in gallery” under the image of art. Use the “zoom” (magnify) feature at the bottom of the image to see every detail of the art, right down to the brushstrokes. In this exciting painting by Susanne Leasure, she uses a palette of cool colors to create the sensation of a crisp winter day on the coast. Brisk winds are indicated by the sea mist blowing off the tops of the waves and the thick, frothy white foam churning in the foreground. This exhilarating artwork will add a bright focal point to your room, working well with many styles of décor. ‘Evening Splash’ highlights the power of the massive waves as they smash against jagged rocks. Rich, deep blues and purples color the water and foam as the setting sun strikes the rock and splash with warm, contrasting brilliance. Leasure’s use of color and attention to detail makes one feel as if standing on the cliff, feeling the sea spray and hearing the ocean’s roar. This fine art print will be a wonderful addition to any art collection, adding drama to your room. Artist, Paul Leasure has hand painted a relaxing evening stroll on a placid beach of California. Sunset hues have influenced the oil painting’s composition. The huge rock in this setting makes this a unique seascape. Splashes on the reef and small rolling waves of sea foam, curl around the contours of the sand. Contrasting orangey gold and purple blues offset by the dark browns give this painting a glow. Remind us that the ocean is always undulating with energy. The original artwork has sold. However, you may select from the “related Items” to purchase a signed archival quality reproduction or a decorative art print. Paul Leasure has done it again. Capturing a private experience at the pinnacle, this painting places you in the scene, at the moment when the mildly turbulent ocean has slammed against the rocks. Shooting into the air, the splash becomes backlit and takes on the evening sun’s colorful light. You are too late to own the original, but that is why commissions are painted. Some of Leasure’s best works have been commissioned paintings. This beautiful work of art is also available to purchase as a limited edition print. Each print is hand enhanced (re-touched with paint) by Paul himself! Each signed print comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Called an “A-frame” by California surfers, the subject of this hand painted art is a single wave. Glistening in the sun, the silvery seawater curls over in submission to the forces acting on it. Notice the reflection of the wave’s actions in the water at the base of the wave. Leasure has earned the reputation for rendering interesting perspectives in his paintings and this work of art is no exception. As you view this seascape, observe how the seawater comes right to you. It is just you and the wave, one on one. Sharing his experience through the work of art, Leasure really offers the sensation that you were right there, where he was. The original work has sold. You may enjoy ownership of this fine image, however, by purchasing an archival quality limited edition reproduction. Decorative art prints are also available. See “Related Products”. Point Lobos is a painting epitomizing the power and captivating beauty of the ocean. In this extraordinary piece of wall art, Leasure uses the dynamic contrast of colors to accent the movement of the sea spray into the sun’s light. Cool blues and purples of the oceans surface and shadowed foam are distinguished from the glowing gold and amber highlights. If you are looking for a dramatic focal point in your room, this work of art would be ideal.

Artist, Susanne René Leasure has hand painted a relaxing evening stroll on a placid beach of San Simeon, California. This beautiful strand of beach does not receive as many visitors as the nearby Hearst Castle. The history of the Hearst Castle includes many extravagant gatherings that included many of the rich and famous from world & national government, politics and show business. Enthralled with the richness of the Earth, however, Susanne focuses her attention (and ours) on the splendors of the sea, the beach and the setting sun. Many hues have influenced the oil painting’s composition and are throughout the scene. Splashes on the reef and small rolling waves of sea foam, remind us that the ocean is always brimming with energy. The open ocean picks up the color of the bright blue sky. There is a pleasant offshore breeze to warm things up. The horizon is often dotted with white sails that pick up the colors offered by the setting sun. The colorful scene painted in this wall art portrays the hues of dusk painted on a canvas of rolling fog and reflected in the still seawater of Morro Bay. In the background can be seen the unmistakable Morro Rock. What a great getaway from the urban existence. Here natural beauty surrounds you: ocean, mountains, rich rolling hills -- and then there's the beautiful harbor and the magnificent Morro Rock. You have discovered an exceptional seascape depicting the bluffs (or cliffs) on the shore of a small coastal town named Carpinteria just south of Santa Barbara, California. This is the second painting Leasure has created with a “day moon” in it. Adding to the uniqueness of the scene are the natural deposits of tar oozing from the cliff faces and onto the beach. If you zoom in on this work of wall art while in the web site gallery, you will notice the dancing sparkles between the waves on their way to the rocky beach. These glimmers are not from the moon seen in this painting. Rather, they are from the sun, not seen in the composition. The original artwork is long gone. Peruse the “Related Products” to obtain a high quality limited edition giclee reproduction. Susanne Renée Leasure’s, “Tide Pools at Dusk”, is painting about moments of solitude and walking along a misty morning beach. Susanne Renée’s eye for abstract beauty in nature, once again brings our attention to the interesting shapes and reflections left in the sand by the receding tide, this time in the evening. If the palette of your interior design includes colors like blues, burnt orange, purple, lavender, gold, then perhaps this peaceful beach scene will be right for your room. Using reflections on the winding tide pools and water-etched shapes in the sand, the artist has composed a unique painting of the interaction between land and sea at sunset. If you wish to study and appreciate this sunset ocean painting more closely, select “view in gallery” under the image of art. The colors of orange and peach contrast with deep blues and pale purples. Thickly layered paint created with a palette knife, add texture to this colorful oil painting. The rocky cliffs glow in the late sun and the cool waters swirl around them, reflecting their warm hues. Susanne Leasure once again finds the delicate balance of intensity and composition in this beautiful oil seascape from Avila Beach on the central coast of California.

The colorful scene painted in this wall art portrays the hues of dusk painted on a canvas of rolling fog and reflected in the still seawater of Morro Bay.

Stillness settled over the harbor. Tiny boats barely moved in the calm, rolling gently in their nightly moorings. Fog drifted slowly in and out like the breathing of this coastal town. The setting sun spread her colors across the sky and the rippled waters mirrored them back to her. Morro Rock cast long dark shadows and reflected into the bay its shrouded glory. Seagull’s lonely cries occasionally broke the silence, along with the distant mournful sound of the lighthouse horn. One by one, tiny beacons appeared as evening deepened, feebly fighting off the darkness. A solitary seal breaks the surface of the water with a snort. As suddenly as it appeared, it dives again into the darkness, gone to unknown places. The misty air begins to chill and the sky has dulled to lavender gray. I turn away to seek warmth and shelter, leaving the harbor to nights misty embrace.
