Often when discussing the art of Jesse Miller the topic veers towards his more avant-garde tendencies. Today this is not the case. This is a plein air painting by Jesse Miller done in the canyons of Laguna Beach looking out onto the Pacific Ocean. He painted this particular piece for his mother.
Personally, I find the layers and perspective to be familiar and accurate to my journeys into the Laguna Hills. The ocean seems to hover in the distance between the hills and the hazy sky.
