Post card view of rugged cliff side with sweeping views of the Pacific. The artwork is a landscape painting showcasing a rugged coastal Big Sur scene. In the foreground, dynamic blue waves crash against jagged rocks lining the shore. The Pacific ocean's water is a fierce, deep blue with shades of white highlighting the crests of the waves. Moving towards the midground, a traditional arched bridge spans a wide chasm between two cliffs, enhancing the picturesque quality of the scene.

The Bixby bridge is constructed of concrete, with its architecture integrating elegantly into the natural contours of the landscape. On the left of the bridge, the land gently slopes upward, dotted with greenery, indicating gentle hills or a headland. A small building with a red roof rests peacefully at the edge of the cliff, providing a sense of scale and human presence without dominating the scene.

In the background, rolling hills or mountains rise in layers, each receding into the distance under a soft blue sky suffused with light and small clouds. The color palette is composed of natural earth tones, blues, and greens, conveying the beauty and tranquility of a coastal landscape possibly inspired by a real location or an idealized synthesis of nature's grandeur.

One of the most photographed bridges next to the the Golden Gate bridge, Bixby Bridge is a landmark in California. Bixby Bridge. 714’ of graceful architecture completed in 1932. Imagine the elements this bridge has survived in the last 10 yrs, let alone the past 80+! The concrete span, one of the highest bridges of its kind in the world, soars 260 feet above the bottom of a steep canyon carved by Bixby Creek. The Big Sur coastal road is my favorite scenic highway, for a day drive stopping in at one of our favorite Big Sur restaurants Nepenthe, or staying at Ventana Inn or Deetjen's Inn.
