Expansive seascape by notable California artist Farren Jensen (American, 1901-1991). The viewer is standing on the shore, looking out along the coast. Steep cliffs rise dramatically from the sea, with rich vegetation at the top. The cliffs recede into the distance, partially obscured by fog. A lone Seagull watches for signs of a possible dinner.

Farren Jensen (American, 1901-1991) was born in Utah and began painting in 1961 while touring the Southwest, but his interest in painting began in his childhood. He studied with Jade Fon of San Francisco, Jon Blanchette (an Aptos artist), and Carl Martin. Jensen lived much of his life in Tracy, California, where he was superintendent of Shell Oil Company Pipe Lines Northern Division. Many of Farren’s paintings depict Western landscapes of Utah and California Seascapes, inspired by his travels throughout the United States.
