In June of this year, the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links will host the US Open Championship for a fifth time. (1972 winner Jack Nicklaus, 1982 winner Tom Watson, 1992 winner Tom Kite, 2000 winner Tiger Woods) The print image shown here is my tribute to the championship event being held at Pebble and depicts an idealized windswept green along the Monterey Peninsula coastline, the flagstick bending in the breeze, and a wide view of gathering clouds above the Pacific Ocean. A lone cypress tree becomes the image's focal point.I created the entire image on a digital drawing tablet with vector-based Adobe Illustrator software. Even though it has beautiful soft blends of colors and gradations, it still has a crisp and minimal graphic look, quite like lithographic travel posters from the 1930's and '40's.
This print has three different type version choices: one with bold red & tan type, the other with simpler black & white type... or a third option is just the image alone without any type.
