Yesterday was beautiful and a welcome break from the recent storms.
The sun felt warmish, at least for an hour or two, so I grabbed my
sketchbook and headed up the beach. One of the reasons I haunt the beach
around the Neahkahnie cliffs is because of the interesting wave action.
With the large 10-12 foot waves and high tides, the area didn't
disappoint!
Here is the plein air sketch I did for Day 28. As
always, I strive to get the anatomy and action of the waves colliding,
riding over and under each other. I find them endlessly fascinating.

Note the
small graphic of a wave I quickly drew at the top. I needed a basic
reminder of what is happening due to the jumble of waves I was seeing.
Of course, graphite doesn't capture the wonderful flashes of color that
appear but it does make it a bit easier to get an idea of what is going
on.
Here is video I made of some of the waves in action:
Happy New Year!
