Neakahnie Looking to Smuggler's Cove


I painted this plein air painting at an amazing spot near Manzanita in Oregon. Neakhanie mountain has sheer cliffs that plunge into the sea. I was blown away by the caves worn into the side of the rocks; a very impressive sight! This painting took two days to paint. The size is larger than I normally work with for plein air- approximately 18in x 24in, oil on Masonite.
