Vern Scharf Paintings from Santa Cruz, California

There's nothing like brunch, Capitola-style. Sitting behind the seawall in the warm sun eating a fresh slice of pepperoni pizza from down the Esplanade while watching the sparkling bay. It doesn't get much better than that. You become instant friends with the big white seagull looking at your slice, just waiting, in case there's a speck of leftover crust. The gentle breeze brings you a fresh dose of sea air. All is good. This appetizing 4 x 4 inch slice is painted with finest French acrylics over stretched gallery wrapped canvas and coated multiple times with varnish, so it's quite portable, able to stand up to regular handling. You can take it to work and remember the day you had a brunch with a view. And for under 5 bucks. Plus parking.
