In honor of my annual trip to the Oregon coast next week, I'm temporarily switching ecosystems in my art making. I've wanted to paint these lovely starfish for the past few years, and would love to show my work in a venue on the Pacific coast. So much of my life has been spent in this part of the world (northern California, Oregon, and Washington), that this subject matter is always inspirational and a natural one for me. Tis the beginning of a new series (yes, I have several series going, but there is so much to draw and paint, I can't help myself ;-). Be on the look out for a painting in progress photo.
