Sunset over Zuma Beach; original oil painting by Jessica Fairley

The sky over Zuma turns the whole world red. Sunset over Zuma Beach captures that suspended moment just after the sun drops below the horizon — a vast coral and crimson sky fading to silver at the edges, dark teal waves rolling in from the open Pacific, and the long curve of the beach sweeping back toward the Malibu hills in the distance.

Painted in oil, this piece is all atmosphere and emotion. The warm glow of the sunset reflects off the wet sand and the surface of the water, while the dark rolling surf and the deep shadows of the hillside anchor the composition in the real, physical beauty of this beloved stretch of Southern California coast.
