DescriptionErle Loran was an art professor at U.C. Berkeley. He was also a noted author and a fine artist. His watercolor paintings were produced using paint that he mixed up himself using ground up dried color pigment mixed with gum Arabic. The colors he achieved were quite unique, which helped set his art apart from the watercolors by other artists. The style he worked in was known as the Berkeley School Style of watercolor painting, which was developed by Loran and several other U.C. Berkeley professors including John Haley and Worth Ryder. A scene along the Pacific coast in Northern California near the town of Elk inspired this work.
