Harris Beach, Brookings, OR By Eva Mare Tanner-Klaas

I worked on a boat painting yesterday and I am still not happy with it. So, last night I  worked on a beach composition and blocked it in. This morning I finished it.

Here is my study of Harris Beach north of Brookings, Oregon. The large island off to the left is Bird Island and sometimes called Goat Rock.  This is a short walk from my studio. Beautiful place.

Yosemite At Last

"Yosemite At Last " SOLD

Here is the latest painting I sold. It is one of my favorites because it was my first time to Yosemite. I am a California girl born and raised and yet had never visited Yosemite until last year.  It it inspired me to spend more time being a tourist in my own state.
Thank you for purchasing my art.

Autumn's River by Eva Marie Tanner Klaas

"Autumns' River" 12X16 Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

I don't like to waste my palette paint. If you are an oil painter, you know what I mean. I mix piles of color and may not use it all. I put this paint onto an unsuccessful painting and create a palette painting. Here is my palette painting I named "Autumn's River".  The paint is thick. I had my paint palette in the back of my car on a warm day. The paint started to dry so instead of discarding it, I created this piece. I love the thick texture.
