\nThis month, I spent a week traveling and painting along the Oregon coast with my good friend from Kauai, pastel and oil painter Helen Turner<\/a>. We painted in beautiful locations from Cannon Beach<\/a> all the way down to Port Orford, with the goal of visiting all Oregon’s coastal lighthouses.\n<\/p>\n

\nWe saw gray whales feeding just off the coast of Yaquina Head Lighthouse<\/a>, fog on the massive sand dunes north of Umpqua River Lighthouse, and golden afternoon light on the towering sea stacks in Bandon<\/a>, near the Coquille River Light. I produced twelve new plein air watercolors, plus dozens of reference photos for future studio paintings. Check out the twelve plein airs below!\n<\/p>\n

\nPlein air painting allows me to slow down and focus on the mood of a place, providing an opportunity to study shifting details of color, light and weather over time. It is both a challenging and meditative experience that creates a stronger bond with the location. I am more in love with the Oregon coast than ever, and I can’t wait to get started on new artwork inspired by our journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
