This barn is located near Cannon Beach. I found the reflections fascinating, created by the eddy that swirled and re-circulated the water upstream. The contrast between hard and soft edges in the water, as well as in the hill and barn, create interest by providing repetition and variation as well as a variety of textures.

Oregon and western Washington have such fantastic plant and tree varieties. I know some artists who avoid or limit green colors in their paintings, but I loved the opportunity to portray the countless rich hues and depth of values found in this landscape.
