<\/a><\/p>\n\u00a0Quite a pile of wood, don’t you think?<\/strong> This new painting was inspired by the few days we spent kicking around the Olympic Beaches of Rialto, Ruby and Third Beach a few weeks ago. Each time we hike this stretch of beach north\u00a0out to some of the best tide pools anywhere, I’m struck by the designs of all these dead Sitka Spruce trees that line the high-tide mark. It’s quite a jumble, and I finally came to grips with how to paint it. I don’t think it’s quite finished, but I heard some comments on my NOT posting last week – “and I hope you’re Okay?” So in the spirit of almost 200 posts in 200 weeks, finished or not – here it is.<\/p>\n On the same beach\u00a0we saw\u00a0many (like 8 in one view)\u00a0drift floats with Japanese characters on them, along with other tsunami trash like the grapefruit juice\u00a0container I blogged about <\/a>a few weeks ago – and so I thought I should add that to the painting too. Look in the lower left-center. The actual float was much bigger, but if you look carefully on the photo below you can see the Japanese\u00a0maker’s marks just above the seam. This one was just coming into the surf, and I had to do a fancy dance to get it ashore. Radioactive? I hoped not.<\/p>\n This ORIGINAL painting “Rialto Beach Float” is varnished acrylic on hardboard, 24″ x 48″ and $1200 unframed. Thanks for reading this week.
