Night Beach
charcoal and pastel
7.8" x 7.8" (19.9 cm x 19.9 cm)

This is one of several drawings done from memory of an Oregon beach at night. The beach was probably at Cape Lookout State Park. It was a foggy night. Everything was indistinct. The view is from the beach, looking inland towards a sand ridge and tall, spare pines.

The drawing, like many other night scenes, suffers from romanticism. The shapes may have been blurred, but the night was, no doubt much brighter.
