When you finish that project you’ve been working on for months, it’s time to do some exploring. Oregon you really do have it all.

“Santiam Pass”, 11" x 14" oil on hardboard, 2021
Santiam Pass is the gateway between the Willamette Valley and Central Oregon; a mountainous bridge from temperate rainforest to high desert steppe. Many of my favorite alpine ecosystems can be accessed from this pass, and when the snow begins to melt in Spring it opens up so many opportunities for wilderness exploration. The drive along the pass itself is often overlooked, but on a stormy day in the wake of a blizzard it’s cliffs and crags take on a truly magnificent quality.

“Harris Beach at Sunset” 11" x 14" oil on Belgian linen, 2021
This painting is available at the Mindpower Gallery in Reedsport, Oregon. Be sure to have a look if you’re in the area!
Harris Beach in Southern Oregon is an incredible stretch of coastline scattered with dozens of towering bedrock monoliths. I spent a good while marveling at this one while exploring tidepools late in the day. Magical rocks glowing in evening light are some of my favorite subjects to paint!

“Glacial Erratic” 8" x 10" oil on linen panel, 2021
High in the Oregon Cascades, hundreds of rounded boulders dot the forested slopes. In ages past they were carved, transported, and deposited by the glaciers that once covered this alpine region. Now they slumber in the pine duff waiting for the ice to return and carry them ever onward.
This little painting is available at Tsunami Bookstore and Gallery in Eugene, Oregon.

“Arch of Indian Sands” 16" x 20" oil on hardboard, 2021
The southern Oregon coast is predominated by sheer cliffs, towering sea stacks, and more enormous natural arches than you could shake a stick at. With so many incredible geological features, it’s hard to decide what to paint! I was particularly drawn to this aireal view of the Indian Sands cove, where swirling waves passed through one of these arches into what seemed like another world beyond.

“Sunlit Spires” 8" x 10" oil on linen, 2020
I created this painting a few days before embarking on the January stradaeasel still life project. This was my first time working on a high quality oil primed linen panel, and I really enjoyed it! Sunrise over the towering seaside spires at Seal Rock, OR!
This piece is available at Tsunami Bookstore and Gallery in Eugene, OR, or online through my Daily Paintworks page. Follow the link in my profile to find out more!

“The Cave at Sisters Rocks” 16" x 20" oil on hardboard 2020
Here’s a large seascape I created a few months ago after a summer trip to Oregon’s south coast. The coastline down there is dominated by massive cliffs and sea stacks full of potential for dramatic compositions. This sea cave struck me as particularly poignant with all the reflected light it caught off the surface of the oncoming waves. I reevaluated my handling of that light several times over the last few months, and after repainting a few tiny sections I’m very happy with the result!
