Oil on a solid wood 1.5 inch thick block, this piece is mounted in a beautiful yet simnple white floater frame.  

I painting this right outside my front door one day.  I had planned to take a long drive to the coast to paint, but this scene caught my eye as I was loading up and I just had to stop and try to capture the feel of it in paint.

On a blustery day along the coast, I tied my easel down so I could paint.  Big wave and warm evening light made for a magical afternoon.
