Cannon Beach. Painting mixed media.

Cannon beach

This trip was from summer 2011 at Cannon Beach in Oregon, I wanted to loosely capture the low sky and pacific coast foggy feel. Tidal pools, rocks, wet sand and a cool summer morning walk on the beach make for some of my favorite days. 

This was done on heavy water color paper using mixed media of prismacolor pencils, ink and acrylic paint coated in matte clear acrylic.

Art of the Terrace 2012 

Flying home

This was created as a submission to the “Arts of the Terrace show”, my first show attenpt in many years.

This was done on pine boxed 8” X 10”masonite, to get the near water color wet look the masonite was gessoed. Then coated in layers of absorband ground with intentional brush streaks to get the feel of wood. The colors are acryllic using various techniques and layers. I wanted to capture the feel of old beach art and the colors that living by the sea provide.
