"The Rock at Point no Point" plein air landscape painting by Robin Weiss

"The Rock at Point no Point"  6x12 oil on panel   $500

 

Anyone who has spent a sunny summer day at Point no Point knows this rock. Especially if you have kids. I have been coming here for almost half a decade, since Maury was little and spent hours exploring and studying the wonders found in the tide pools around the "Big Rock". Now he is all grown up making his own art and I find myself hiking the back trail down to the beach on my own to spend a couple hours in the sun painting...and remembering.

This is a composition I am drawn to over and over here in the Pacific Northwest. Long format. Distant landmass fading into the haze. The elipse of beach in perspective with driftwood you can step onto as you enter the scene.
