Oregon Coast Wildflowers

'Color for a Gray Day' 8x10 pastel
Several years ago we went on a 20 day trip around the Pacific Northwest. It was an awesome trip! I was going through some of my photos and this one called out to be painted. This is the view of Cannon Beach from Ecola State Park in Oregon. I remember it being a chilly gray July day but these flowers added a touch of color. I need to repeat that trip!

Beautiful work Karen! The gloomy days out here can sure be brightened up with a touch of color. You depicted that very well!

Last year I took so many photos from where you were standing...I just had to do one of my miniature pastels of that scene. Here's the link to that mini if you're interested.

Thanks David, I'm glad you saw this. I was thinking about my Pacific NW friends when I posted it. I love your mini! I need to do more of those.
