Happy Friday! This week went by so fast!- I think in the summer, time just goes by so much faster then any other time of year.. maybe it has something to do with the sunshine.. This weekend we might go to the coast for a day or two and get some ocean, sand, and maybe some chowder.. or should I say chowda! I am going to do some outdoor oil painting and see how it goes- and hopefully it won't be too cold or windy.
Here is a little painting I did this week of Canon Beach in Oregon- I mostly wanted to paint it for the little people :) and the rock is called Hay Stack Rock.. You guessed it- it's shaped just like hay stack lol. I wanted to do something a little more impressionistic and playing with the shapes and light.- especially in the water. Oil on wood- 8X8
What are you up to this weekend?

I really like this painting. I've never been to Oregon - it looks beautiful! Hope you enjoy your weekend! I'll be cleaning and packing for when I move into my apartment in August!

Love that painting. When I lived in Portland and was in grad school, my hubs and I got engaged there. Mainly due to our shared love of Goonies and expansive coastal beaches.
Any reason to paint lots of tiny folks is ok in my book.
You totally nailed the depth in this piece..the distances between haystack and the land and the tiny people is right on.
That painting is absolutely gorgeous! I'm new to your blog but I love it, definitely going to start following you! I hope you have a blast this weekend! xo
Wow, you are a really good painter! Nice job!
+1 and follow :)
I've always wanted to go to Canon Beach because I'm a die-hard Goonie! Best movie in the world ever and the beach just looked so fantastic, its image has stayed with me since I was a kid.
Your painting of it is fantastic!
I just started following you, but I can tell you now I am really going to enjoy your blog. I love that painting. :]

The painting is fantastic! Nice work. I like rocks :)
I visited a rock in Australia called "remarkable rocks" - they were actually quite remarkable.
That painting is amazing! I love it! My weekend has been spent enjoying the lovely weather and shopping for new shoes. And I had bubble tea! Fun fun.
"It's chowda! Say it, Frenchy!"
