Picnic Beach – Original Oil Painting by Claire Miller

Picnic Beach is a plein air oil painting created on location in Laguna Beach, California, during the golden hour. Through bold brushstrokes and a masterful use of natural light, Claire Miller captures the timeless beauty of the Southern California coast—where cliffs meet sea and sun-drenched sand reflects the changing sky.

Painted outdoors directly from life, this piece is part of Claire's ongoing exploration of the mood and magic of coastal landscapes. The scene radiates a quiet warmth and serenity that invites the viewer to linger in its calm, familiar stillness.
