Mountain and Seas Please

In Pacific High, Nathan Gibbs weaves a dreamscape where alpine serenity meets the pulsing energy of the sea. Stylized evergreens rise like inked calligraphy against softly cascading peaks, while rhythmic waves crash with kinetic blues and aquas in the foreground. A radiant, impressionistic sky—splattered with warm yellows, violets, and salmon hues—evokes a surreal twilight, suggesting that both land and sea exist in a shared breath of wonder.

A celebration of California’s unique geography and spirit, this mixed-media painting balances natural texture with whimsical motion, appealing to both coastal collectors and lovers of mountain retreats.

Workbench monologues is a series of abstract surreal surf art and landscape paintings that often focus on a theme.  That theme could be environmental, personal growth, or any other similar topics. I will hide images within the work such as eyes, animals, or subject matter related to the overall theme. They are very organic and texture heavy. Zoom in and take a closer look at paintings within the paintings and see what there is beyond the obvious.

Almost all original art is painted on wood panel and acrylic paint. It is sealed with a gloss varnish. Some come framed with a simple redwood or pine frame. Frames are optional and can be removed. Others have a epoxy coating for a gloss finish. All original art purchases come with a lifetime trade in guarantee. Contact me for details.
