Loved the backlit contrast this rock offered with the light gleaming over the ocean's swells and on the backs of the pelicans flying so freely on the wind currents. I think they took a bit of my soul with them that day!

I loved the way the light changes so quickly in Oregon. One minute it's foggy, the next, clear and strong. This painting marks a dark but dramatic sunset. I was happily settled in my hotel room right on the beach...a little bit o' heaven on earth!

This piece is on display at the Creative Arts Society show in the Chase Bank Cooridor at 700 Lavaca, Austin, Texas.

I fell in love with the spectacular beauty of the Oregon coast while exploring her shores last September of 2008. This vista was discovered just off a road in a little town in or around "Seaside"...just south of Astoria. I pulled over to take a look and grab a cup of Joe at a drive through java stop. I loved blue river lingering in and out of the rich grasses, in contrast with the bare bones of a dead tree trunk. The river probably goes into the ocean, just the other side of the dunes.
