Two horses graze quietly along the shore of Santa Cruz Island, with the Pacific stretching beyond and an island formation rising in the distance. The scene reflects not only the natural beauty of the Channel Islands, but also the island’s ranching past, when horses were part of daily life across its remote beaches, canyons, and open grazing lands. Cool ocean blues and soft earth tones give this original watercolor a calm, timeless feeling. Original watercolor painting 12" x 18"
