Coals to Newcastle
A Texas artist sending a West Coast seascape to an art show in California feels a bit like sending coals to Newcastle. Nevertheless, the California Art Club has accepted this painting into this year's Gold Medal Exhibition -- and for that I am grateful. You can see all of the paintings in the show here.

Cannon Beach
Oregon has some of the most spectacular coastal scenery I've ever had the pleasure to experience. This is Cannon Beach viewed from a lookout point at Ecola State Park.

Tillamook Rock Light
Oregon's Ecola State Park offers this view to visitors who are fortunate enough to be there at sunset. In the distance stands Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, built one mile offshore and first used in 1881.
Here's how the painting progressed.

Indian Beach - North View
Indian Beach, Oregon was named for the Native American Tillamook tribe who used to live in villages nearby.
Here are a few steps to a watercolor I painted of this rugged coastline.

Coastal Crow
I encountered this crow at a lookout point along the Oregon coast -- perched and posing high above the rugged cliffs with a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean.

Coquille River Light
The Coquille River Lighthouse, one of seven lighthouses that my wife and I recently visited along the beautiful coast of Oregon, was first lit in 1896. It guided mariners past dangerous shifting sandbars into the Coquille River and harbor at Bandon. It's no longer in operation but functions well as a subject to paint!

Oregon Vacation
My wife and I have been vacationing for the last couple of weeks on the Oregon coast. There is so much beauty to be seen at every turn! I brought my watercolors along but we've been so busy enjoying the experience that I haven't painted very much. Here are a couple of paintings - the first of several from an Oregon series, I predict.
Painting from the balcony of our hotel room in Yachats.
