Description

Elk and Haystack Rock is an oil painting of a familiar Oregon beach landmark and some of the Roosevelt elk that like to come out of the rainforest to feed on coastal meadow grass.
Haystack Rock, an iconic Oregon Coast landmark, is thought to be 10 – 17 million years old, born in the lava flows that created much of the Oregon Coastline’s basalt formations. Originally connected to the coast, eons of erosive action have now created a separation, making the monolith an intertidal sea stack. Still accessible by land at low tide, the 235 foot tall rock is home to many interesting intertidal species and is a nesting site for local sea birds. This accessibility, however, warrants caution. The US Coast Guard often finds itself rescuing tourists who have lost track of time and are trapped by high tide. This wonderful location is near the small Oregon beach town of Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast.
Creating portals of light, love, joy, beauty, compassion, hope and gratitude is my lifelong passion and gift for the earth, hence the name of my art business, For the Earth. My mother painted in oils when I was young and encouraged my own drawing, painting and handcrafting in all forms. My father, the photographer, gave me my first camera at age 8. As a result of these loving influences, I am a lifelong student of both mediums. I am grateful to my wonderful Pacific NW painter teachers, Stan Capon and Edi Olson, for training my eye and technique. I hope you will enjoy this image as much as I enjoyed its creation.
