"Edge of the Sea, Long Beach, BC, 1961" by Canadian artist Alan Collier (1911-1990). This 12 x 16-inch painting is signed on the bottom left and was painted on June 27, 1961.

The painting captures a rugged coastal scene, where twisted and windblown trees cling to the sandy cliff edge overlooking the sea. The artist has used a muted palette of blues, greens, and earthy tones to reflect the natural beauty and harsh conditions of the British Columbia coastline. The textures in the painting suggest the movement of the wind and the resilience of the coastal flora. The provenance includes the Collier Inventory and the Ruth I Collier Collection from 1970, and the artwork has an alternate title of "Windblown," aptly describing the scene's atmosphere.
