Pacific Ocean / Palisades No. 3 is an original contemporary abstract seascape by Diane Grant, part of the Pacific Ocean / Palisades series, which explores the expansive horizon, shifting waters, and atmospheric character of the Pacific coast through an expressive abstract language.

The composition is structured around layered horizontal bands, suggesting the meeting of sky, distant horizon, ocean, and shoreline. The predominantly luminous palette of soft white, pale blue, cool gray, charcoal, and muted lavender is punctuated by expressive passages of deep blue and vivid magenta. These restrained yet unexpected accents create subtle visual movement across the surface and evoke fleeting reflections of light on the water.

The central band introduces a more tactile and fragmented rhythm, reminiscent of distant cliffs, coastal formations, or waves breaking along the shoreline. Below, the quieter horizontal passages create the sensation of receding water and reflected atmosphere. Rather than depicting a specific landscape literally, Grant transforms the visual experience of the Pacific coast into a study of horizon, rhythm, light, movement, and spatial depth.

The layered application of oil creates variations in opacity, texture, and gesture, giving the surface a tactile quality that reveals itself differently as the surrounding light changes. The result is a sophisticated and atmospheric work that balances expressive mark-making with a refined sense of composition.
