Bandon Beach Boardwalk

This is just part of the magnificent boardwalk in Bandon, Oregon. It is nestled next to the Coquille River on the Southern Oregon Coast and, very close to the beach and Pacific Ocean.

The capture was made early on a Sunday morning...no one is up and about! The boardwalk is actually an impressive outside art gallery with masterful wood carvings.

There are many arty type benches on the boardwalk. They are no more than 50 steps from one to another. Very unique in itself!

There are a number of outstanding wooden sculptures. For example, there are: Dolphin, Crab, Octopus, Seal, Sea Horse, Totem Pole and Orca wood sculptures.

You can find them scattered along this riverside promenade. To the right, in the photo is a beautiful glass-sided picnic shelter with a wonderful view of the Coquille River and surrounding areas.

Seal Rock Beach has large off-shore rock formations where you can observe seal, sea lion, sea birds,and other marine life. It also provides excellent ocean views and a sandy beach.

This particular rock in the foreground is chuck full of barnacles. This image has been converted to digital paintography.

Chairs By The Sea Artworks

First, this is not a staged scene! These chairs are almost, not quite in someone's front yard. They are located right on the edge of the beach in the hamlet of Neskowin on the Oregon Coast.

Neskowin is a real small community about seven miles north of Lincoln City on the Central Coast. There are no strip malls. No high rises! Not even a gas station!

However, there is this cool, laid back community with gorgeous beach cottages and, beach right next to the Pacific Ocean! Then there is "Proposal Rock" (the outcropping in the background)...a place with a history associated with romance and...well?

The setting, where the chairs are situated should tell us something about turning cell phones off, grabbing a beverage and doing absolutely nothing!

Seafood Restaurant Art

"Ocean Bleu At Gino's" is located on the Historic Bayfront in Newport on the Oregon Coast. It is a combo restaurant and seafood market.

It is a colorful place to say the least with all the buoys, signs and flags. In short, it's a beachy place!

And, features great seafood. The place is what the beach is all about!

Gino's was captured just at the end of "Blue Hour". The image was converted into a digital Impressionist painting.

Kite Wall Art

Every summer in Lincoln City on the Oregon Coast they have a first-class kite festival. Folks come from all over to attend this gala event.

From year to year, there are new, cool and unusual kites flying out on the beach next to the D River...the shortest river in the world! The Whale kites and the Octopus kite caught the camera's eye.

Importantly, the wind was just right to make it a perfect day to fly kites! People are milling around the kites or, are sitting down in the sand and eating picnic lunches.

And, everyone is having fun! This image was converted into a digital painting!

Red Chair Wall Art

Along the street, in Bandon's Old Town on the Oregon Coast sits these four red chairs. You are looking west and, near the end of the main street.

Bandon, Oregon is on the Southern Oregon Coast. It easily has the most pristine beaches you will ever run across...devoid of a bunch of people, pollution, noise and, whatever!

Evolution

Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon is home to Oregon's largest fishing fleet. It is also home to some cool looking fishing vessels.

And, most commercial fisherman take very good care of their boats. They have too to survive out at sea.

The scene is a drizzly, foggy morning at Dock 5 on the Historic Bayfront. Most boats are in, conditions at sea aren't real great and it is probably to dangerous to go out and fish due to sea conditions.

The image has been converted to a digital painting that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!
