Up stream from the mouth of the Alsea River are numerous RV parks with boat launching facilities. The park we stayed in for a weekend had fields of flowers blooming just outside the door. The sky was clear that weekend, hence the water was a brilliant blue as well, with just enough current to look cold and ominous.

To get to Waldport, I drove the spectaular Alsea Hwy, which had no traffic!

Lost Creek, Oregon ~ $40 SALE

One of my first opportunities to paint at the beach in a long time came up when a friend of my daughter’s came along to keep her company.

I started this painting of Lost Creek. Someone had burried a post so it sat like a flagpole in the sand. Perhaps it was to hang their kite on.

I’ve improved the painting since my initial sitting and am happy with the contrast, which shows the vitality of the location.

Does the “flagpole” needs a kite?

Clear Lake Workshop

I finished this painting after many years of contemplation. I had not painted water successfully in acrylic or oils, so I took a workshop from Mark Allison, art instructor at LBCC and Bill Shumway, owner of Pegasus Gallery, in Corvallis. Though I did not get to participate in the entire weekend’s activities, I learned vital skills which are always with me in my daily and plain air painting.
