KItten Rocks
Bandon’s Kitten Rocks seem to float in the mist as the tide gently flows between the beach rocks. I love building depth in the tide pools with transparent encaustic.

Green Splash
The coastal mist on Oregon’s coast filters the light to cast the ocean in soft lavenders which break to deep green as the wave rises and splashes over a rock.
Passage at Ocean’s Edge
The foamy line of the incoming tide leads back through the Bandon beach sea stacks. Encaustic medium lends itself well to painting the water’s transparency as well as the solid rock forms.
Cross Tides
With the many sea stacks at Bandon’s beaches, the tides break and flow around the huge rocks to create lovely tide patterns over the beach.
Low Tide Sand Pool
When the sea pulls back at low tide a variety of treasures are exposed. Here, the sea carved out a shallow pool and left the imprint of its ripples in the sand beneath the water.
Sunset Rocks
The sky seems to drift into the ocean as the sun sets behind the light clouds, coastal mist and churning waves.
Green Wave 2
A king tide wave rises to show off its green depths.
Wizard Wave Lines
Wizard’s Hat rock formation is a favorite subject for my paintings. It sits at the edge of the ocean where high tides surge around it and low tides expose it.
Storm Tide
Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint is a great place to watch storm clouds and king tides. The sun tried to break through the clouds, casting a silvery-coppery light on the scene.
Wizard Wave
Wizard rock is a favorite subject for my paintings. It changes shape depending on viewpoint. It sits at the edge of the ocean where high tides surge up its base and low tides expose it. And, it is located in Bandon where the coastal mist frequently cloaks it in lavender/blues.
