I started this small piece (6″ x 8″) a few years ago, but then put it aside in favor of larger pieces. Finally, our trip to Newport this past summer moved me to finish it. At the coast, you can feel the pure essence of nature and its vastness- the power of the ocean, the majesty of overhanging cliffs, the longevity of weather-beaten trees and rooftops which have been there for generations. Kites fly in the sky, and dogs run and play gleefully. Cozy cottages are nestled next to one another in the hills. My vision was to capture this warm feeling of timelessness, nature’s beauty and joyful moments.
Old Beach Cottage and Coyotes Under the Moon will be available for sale in ‘Paths to the Pacific Northwest‘, and I’m excited to be part of this group show featuring 30 local women artists. The show opens Thursday November 5, 6-8 PM at Albina Press, 5012 SE Hawthorne Blvd., Portland, OR.
‘Old Beach Cottage‘ prints are also now available in the RPS shop!
Plus check out the special value print set – ‘Old Beach Cottage‘ + ‘Joyful Spirit‘. These two pieces would look beautiful together in a beach-themed room, don’t you think? Save $5 on the set. 🙂

Let your soul and spirit fly,
Into the mystic…”
