Jalama Beach at Sunset

3D sculpture of land at Jalama Beach, California painted in watercolor,

This amazing piece illustrates the coastland at #Jalama Beach in California.  The motion sensor LED light is placed to the west of the coastland and casts shadows like the sun.  The land is sandy #beaches and rocky #cliffs and rugged hills sporting a colorful red and green Christmas coat. My 3D painting of Jalama land is original, unique and ready for a new home.

intensely lighted plaster relief model of Jalama Beach in as it appeared to the artist during Winter
30″ x 30″ plaster relief model of Jalama Beach in Southern California. The winter landscape covered in autumn colored ice plant contrasts with the white sand beach and blue ocean washing ashore. Strong topography shows cliffs and rolling land as it appeared to the artist during days of study.
Jalama Beach is in California south of Vandenberg AFB. There are miles and miles of empty land. The video shows light from the left side of the model (west) at a low angle casting shadows on the opposite side of hills, waves, rocks. The model is colored like the land, a green and red scrub from the winter ice plant turning orange. The model was created using topography from Google Earth.

Photos

Here are some terrain photos so you can compare and judge how well I modeled the relatively untouched land I walked on and photographed.

An S shaped coast of cliffs and shore and waves in foreground with dark blue headlands in distance
Orange basin of ice plant with ocean and mountains in the distance.
Flat sandy beach with cliffs rising up on one side and ocean stretching out on other side.
perfect lighting condition of yellow clouds, grey fog, dark brown cliffs and wet surf.
Changing weather with sun and shade, fog and dry, hills and flat shore.
A black stork like bird flying above rugged waves of solid turquoise in foreground and grey stillness in background.
Slices of rock leaning on each other like crackers but they are green moss covered at edge of ocean.
Ruins of an old house in the lonely ice plant sand with fog in background.
