VW Van, Santa Cruz
8x10 original oil painting
SOLD
As unusual as it may seem, a VW van in front of a Victorian house is a common image in beach communities of California. The Pacific Ocean seems to attract these classic vehicles. For five decades they've been hauling surfers and their gear to the beach. Just as the shoreline attracts people today, much of the Victorian building boom occurred in coastal communities in the early 1900s.
I was attracted to this yellow house on Broadway Street by the queen palm tree. The queen palm is ubiquitous in California beach communities from Southern California to Santa Cruz, but rare on the Peninsula. It's a soft flowing graceful palm tree, whose undulations in the wind, seem to mimic the surf nearby.
