Low Tide 

Char Wirfs finished this watercolor April 7, 2022.

    It was displayed at Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville, Oregon during their "Jacksonville is For The Birds Show" May-June 2022. Open hours are Noon to 5, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. http://art-presence.org  Sold during that show.

   We were enjoying a mild November 2021 afternoon at Sunset Bay State Park near Coos Bay. I had my camera at the ready hoping to capture a huge wave splashing against the rocks on the horizon when a crow flew into my viewfinder. So I focused on the dude and clicked. Last Saturday I captured him again in watercolor. Below are some of the photos I managed to take on that lovely November afternoon.

These were machine pieced.  Appliquéd pieces and embroidery embellishments were added for final touches.

There were over 600 entries and only 10 were chosen.

The Blue Mountains are East of Pendleton, OR and I crossed them in all kinds of weather conditions. My favorite was late Spring when the wildflowers were blooming. I chose that for my theme.
