As evening approached I began looking for the right place to enjoy the last few minutes of daylight. No surprise, I ended up down at the water’s edge. These slender basalt seastacks are known as “The Needles” and though they are small compared to their neighbor (Haystack Rock) they are impressive just the same. As you walk closer, their size and the abundance of life that calls them home becomes evident. Original Framed Watercolor 43 ½” x 63 ½” $6,500 – Image 33 ½” x 53 ½” All Rights ReservedRead More →

Bay Bound Nurse Log It would be interesting to know just how long some of these old logs have been floating around inside the bay. I’ve observed some for over 40 years as I’ve contemplated painting them. They are one of many things that say “Pacific Northwest” to me. Nurse Logs are a bit like a tiny island that occasionally, on exceptionally high tides associated with heavy rainfall, simply floats away in silence to a new location with little or no damage done. As they decompose over time their nutrient rich “soil” provides a start for the next generation. Original Framed Oil 29” x 41”-Read More →

Pacific Breaker I started surfing in 1966 so it’s fair to say I’ve been in love with waves for literally 50 years. The photographs I used to paint this oil were taken on a beautiful January day with a large swell running. As I rounded the corner and caught sight of the ocean my jaw dropped and I immediately pulled over to just drink it all in. I utilized a telephoto lens to pull my subject in from a distance and later worked in the studio trying to capture the power of the breaker, and beauty of the spindrift created by the offshore wind.
