This may not quite be finished, but I thought I’d post it anyway. It always helps for me to see it on a small screen – helps me sort of what’s wrong. I’ve had two weeks of replacing windows, doors and decking (LOTS of decking) here at the Lodge, so there hasn’t been much time for the paint brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sea stacks at Hole in the Wall<\/em><\/strong> have been photographed and painted by just about everybody, probably including George Bush (if you haven’t seen his paintings on the web, you’re missing seeing his true calling. I especially like the self-portrait in the shower?!!?). But, I’VE never painted them, so here goes. While this amazing stretch of roadless beach can be a very hairy place when a big sea is running and the tide is high, a few times when we’ve been out there it’s been just like this – so calm you could launch a rowboat. Truly sublime. And where’s Hole in the Wall<\/em>? It’s actually beneath the feet of the viewer. There’s a high-tide trail that snakes over the cliff, and from its top this spectacular view presents itself.<\/p>\n\n\n

And here’s the scene from the south. You can see Hole in the Wall<\/em> to the right that some say also looks like an elephant’s head, the trunk is created by the hole. It’s a local favorite place for us, and most everyone else on the Olympic Peninsula that likes wild beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ORIGINAL painting is varnished acrylic on linen canvas, 20″ x 40″ and is offered for sale. It’s destined for a gallery, but if you’re interested, please email <\/a>us for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AND, a few of you caught my mistake (yes, I admit it) a few weeks ago when I was blogging about my James Pond painting. I mistakenly said James Pond was on the Hoh River, but it’s really on the Quillayute River, just a couple of miles from this new painting. I knew that, but somehow the fingers typed Hoh. Happily, the buyers of the painting didn’t notice, but a few of you sure did, and I’m just happy someone reads this stuff. And, even better, no vampires from the Twilight Gang showed up to argue the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for reading this week.
