"Light the Way" captures the vibrant energy of a coastal sunset with a commanding presence and dynamic motion. A tall white lighthouse (Santa Cruz's Walton Lighthouse) anchors the left side of the composition, its warmly glowing windows offering a sense of guidance and calm. This steadfast structure stands atop a jetty where waves crash powerfully, their foamy white and blue swirls rendered with confident, flowing brushstrokes that convey both force and fluidity. The water stretches toward a distant horizon, mirroring the sky’s intense palette of pinks, purples, oranges, and blues, which sweep boldly across the canvas. Along the horizon, elements of a familiar seaside community emerge—the lively beach, historic boardwalk, and the iconic landmarks that define Santa Cruz's coastal landscape. The painting radiates an uplifting spirit, inviting viewers to experience the interplay of natural forces and human presence, and the quiet reassurance that light brings even as the day gives way to night.
