Portuguese Bend Landscape

Details

CollectionRick Humphrey Paintings and SketchesCreatorHumphrey, RickDescriptionWhen I was twelve, I rode the school bus to a friend’s house to visit after school. We drove up the narrow, winding road of Portuguese Bend and I remember thinking how special this place was. It had a wild feeling to it, like being way out in the country somewhere, separated from civilization, and yet, when you turned and looked out to sea and saw the channel and Catalina Island, it felt like being on the coast of Italy. Fifty years later, it has still been able to keep that wonderful quality. It faces new challenges now as developers seek to build in the area. It is hoped that they will maintain the classical beauty and traditions that have made it unique.Held ByPalos Verdes Library District. Peninsula Center Library.
