Last month I spent a weekend with friends at Beachside in Oregon. It’s a very long,
wide beach; the expanse of it is a bit intimidating.
I sat next to the cliff to stay out of the wind for the first two sketches and stood out on the sand at low tide for the larger work.
The simple views found at this beach don’t necessarily mean an easy composition from which to paint. I look forward to spending another weekend there next year to practice finding interesting angles to paint.
