Beautiful California seascape with bright sunset by Roger Budney (American, b. 1945). The glowing sun is just about to dip below the horizon, surrounded by purple skies and mountains. Reflections of the sun dance on the water, drawing the viewer's eye to the center of the composition. In the foreground, the water takes on a teal color, framed by a rocky coast.

Roger Budney, the second son of Dr. and Mrs. Michael L. Budney, was born on February 23, 1945 in Camden, New Jersey. Reared in an artistic environment, he displayed skill in drawing and painting at an early age.
The family moved to Regensburg, Germany in 1954, and his parents encouraged him to draw and paint the surrounding landscape. The uniqueness of the scenery in Europe has been a major influence in his painting style since that time.
In 1957 the family moved to California. Roger graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1973 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Art and a major in studio painting. Upon graduation, he embarked on a grand tour of the world, visiting forty-five countries, sketching and painting.
Upon returning to the United States, he worked for several years in a sculpture studio in New Jersey. Wanting to live in an area of natural scenic beauty, he returned to California, where he met and married his English wife, Barbara, who encouraged him to continue painting.
He currently resides on the Monterey Peninsula where he paints the mountains and valleys of the local landscape or the ocean waves along the coast and down through Big Sur. Although he has worked in various media, he now prefers working in oils in the tradition of the Old Masters. Realizing that light is a crucial element in this style of painting, his work reveals an understanding and ability to use it with unusual effect. Often he spends hours on just a small portion of the canvas.
