Local Artist Donates Painting to City

Artist Rick Delanty offers "Sunset on Marblehead" as a gift to the city.

Local Artist Rick Delanty Tuesday donated a large landscape painting to the city of San Clemente.

The canvas depicts a sweeping view of the Marblehead land and the city from a point high on Avenida Salvador -- the view stretches all the way to Dana Point and beyond.

"It doesn't have to do with the value of the land, it has to do with the beauty of the land," Delanty said.

"As far as we're concerned, you're one of the leaders in the art community," Delanty said.
