“Avalon Days 2″ | 62″ x 75″ x 2.5” | ink, oil & acrylic on canvas | by Brooke Harker | SOLD
original painting by Brooke Harker. Artist’s Description: I took myself to Catalina to sketch for a couple of days early in my time in LA…I remember getting off the boat and sitting on the rocks looking towards the town.
