A white bell tower rises against a vivid blue sky, while a red-tiled roof and soft greenery create a warm, balanced composition. This school is located in Malaga Cove area of Palos Verdes Estates, California. Signed by "Strauss" at bottom. Titled and numbered on the reverse.

The artist uses clean lines and controlled brushwork to emphasize structure and perspective, guiding the eye down a quiet pathway toward the school entrance. The interplay of light and shadow across the building and ground adds depth, while the surrounding foliage introduces softness and movement.

The palette of bright whites, terracotta reds, and saturated sky blues—evokes the atmosphere of Southern European or coastal California architecture, giving the piece a timeless, transportive quality.

Presented in a wide white mat with small complimentary gray matte and simple frame, the artwork has a small silver, metal frame. Frame + mat are 4" wide. Art itself is 14.5"W x 22.75"H. See less
