Guadalupe Dunes Nightfall

Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes is the largest remaining dune system south of San Francisco and the second largest in California. It encompasses an 18-mile stretch of coastline on the Central Coast of California and extends from southern San Luis Obispo County to northern Santa Barbara County.  

This Dunes Complex is home to a unique ecosystem as well as many endangered and threatened species of plants and animals. To protect the dunes environment, much of the Complex has been set aside for conservation. In addition, it is recognized as a National Natural Landmark.  

This painting is of the Rancho Guadalupe Dunes County Park in Guadalupe, CA, where the Santa Maria River is a huge watershed to the ocean.   The painting is Gallery Wrap, meaning the image goes around the sides, so it doesn't require and doesn't come with a frame.
