"Rising Tide at the Devil’s Elbow … Looking
South"
(Oregon Coast)
Oil on Centurian Oil Primed Linen Panel
with additional Coat of Rublev Lead Ground
4" x 6"
I walked up to
the old lighthouse keeper’s residence, with a view to scramble down to the
rocks below and paint there, as I did several years ago, but the trail down has
been blocked off to aid erosion control, and when I returned to the beach to
attempt to approach the rocks from below, the tide was too far in for me to do
so, and had some hours yet to rise. Thus
a later start than I had hoped for. The
breeze began to rise as well, but not as bad as for the 2nd painting
of the day, later that afternoon, to be published tomorrow. But I liked this view looking south at the
Devil’s Elbow State Park (below Heceta Head Light) … that pesky Devil has a lot
of real estate here in Oregon; his Elbow here; his Backbone up on the rim of
Crater Lake; he’s got a Kitchen down south of Bandon; A Punchbowl here … a
Cauldron over there … a Churn somewhere else … that boy’s got body parts and
implements all over Oregon … must like it here.
