"Cape Disappointment" 18 X24 Watercolor

Cape Disappointment 18X24 Watercolor

Seaside and beach scenes are among my favorites to paint, and although they are usually photos I have taken- this one is not.  I saw it in a magazine quite a few years ago and really wanted to paint it.  This beautiful place is called Cape Disappointment and is located on the coast of Washington where the Columbia River empties into the Pacific Ocean.  I just know this is a place I could live!

I know I have just drawn 2 new watercolors that are ready to paint, but I got sidetracked and wanted to finish this one.  I have quite a few unfinished watercolors on the end of my painting table in my studio and, sometimes, I am in the right mood to actually finish one or more.

Thanks for visiting!

    Oh, I just love this one, I have never been to this area, but it reminds me so much of New England, what a wonderful place to set up an easel.

    I move from painting to painting too. I think it's a healthy way to work--stops you from getting too serious about any of them and keeps the work light. Lovely colors in this one. I could live there too.

    Sheryl, this is beautiful. Now I'm going to try to find out out how this pretty place got its name...

    Thanks, Candy! It seems that it had something to do with Lewis and Clark...
