Capture a fleeting moment of coastal magic with "Ephemeral Emerald Cavern," Bob Averill's luminous seascape that freezes time at the perfect instant when sunlight transforms breaking waves into emerald jewels. This horizontal composition celebrates those precious, transient moments when nature reveals her most delicate beauty along Laguna's shoreline.

Fleeting Coastal Magic During an overcast fall afternoon run along Laguna's shoreline with his dog Lily, Bob witnessed a magical transformation when the sun suddenly emerged and lit up both ocean and clouds. He quickly captured photos to preserve the mood and delicate beauty of the breaking waves, selecting this frozen moment to exemplify these precious, fleeting memories. Back in the studio, painting this scene allowed him to relive that feeling and share it with others.
