Beach Squall

 
Beach Squall
Oil on Panel
16" x 20" unframed
 
 

 
 

This painting captures a winter squall coming onto the beach.  All I could do was snap a few photos and run for cover.  I would prefer to have had the time for a plein air painting, but often nature doesn't cooperate, so it was painted in the studio.  I think I was able to capture the immediacy of the moments anyway.
 
The scene is of the beach near Bob Straub Wayside in Tillamook County, Oregon. The Painting has been on display at Ryan Gallery in Lincoln City, Oregon. It is currently in the Wirfs Studio Collection.
