Summer | Sunrise | California Coast
Begin your cross-country journey with this stunning aerial gouache painting of California’s iconic coastline at sunrise. Skydivers float through golden morning light above the Pacific Ocean, capturing the freedom and adventure that defines the American West. This summer landscape painting celebrates the wild California coast and the public lands that allow us to experience such breathtaking views, reminding us why protecting our natural spaces matters for generations to come.
This is what adventure photographer and long time California resident, Chris Burkard has to say about these wild spaces, “Wild places offer reprieve from the chaos of today’s modern culture that worships productivity & consuming… providing us with time & space to simply exist without any judgment of value or importance. Their invitation to remember our purpose as humans is much larger than fitting into the narrow confines of chasing money, success, security, safety, you name it. I’ve dedicated my life’s work to photographing landscapes throughout the world – they’ve truly given me so much.. and it goes without saying that the absolute least we can do is preserve & protect them – for our sake & the generations who need to learn their important lessons after we’re gone.“

About This Land is OUR Land Collection Description:
This Land is OUR Land is a hand-painted gouache collection of nine panoramic landscapes celebrating America’s wild places from California to Maine. Created in direct response to the summer 2025 threat to our public lands, each piece is named after classic songs that speak to our shared American experience. The series can be displayed as individual paintings or lined up together (11×14 prints only) to create one continuous panoramic view of the Continental United States. Following the journey of a single day from sunrise to sunrise and progressing through all four seasons, this collection reminds us that these lands belong to everyone. No AI art—every brushstroke is created by hand. 10% of proceeds from this collection for the month of November 2025 will be donated to Colorado Wildlife Federation to support their conservation and education efforts and continue to keep our lands public.
