Coastal Pine

 

Another tree painting for DPW "Tree" challenge.

Along the wild and beautiful Oregon coast,

quite often a lone tree will be tenaciously hanging onto a rocky outcrop.

 It's branches sculpted by the wind,

and the trunk bent by the strong gusts

 that come from the ocean storms.

Black Sand Cove

 

 

​Along the wild and scenic Oregon coast,

there are little hidden places that make the coastline so special.

Here I have painted a beautiful little cove

ringed with high golden bluffs.

The sea has a silvery look from the black sand,

which I believe comes from volcanic pumice.

Wild and Rocky

 

 

​Where the Oregon coastal mountain range meets the ocean,

the shoreline is wild, rocky, and extremely beautiful.

The occasional beach appears offering lovely sandy stretches.

The weather is often cloudy with gray skies and gusty winds

blowing the surf up and over the rocky headlands.

Creating misty layers that diminish into the clouds.

Windblown

 

 

The Oregon coast

 is the most wonderful place to be a 'storm watcher".

The strong winds race through the trees

and fling the foamy ocean caps into the air.

The Golden Hour

On a rocky point on the California coast,
these two sun worshippers watch the final minutes
of a glorious summer day - the magic hour.

Rising Squall

Along the coast - especially during the winter,
sudden storms come up, with winds, waves and clouds.
Then, just as suddenly they can disappear.
