"Yaquina Bay" 22 x 30 inches, prints only, any size. This was painted on the shoreline overlooking the bay with the Newport Bridge in the background. Yaquina Bay is a busy port with lots of fresh seafood restaurants nearby. Our favorite is Local Ocean right across the street from our painting location. They were kind enough to let us use their facilities. Of course, we had dinner there at the end of the day. Sold. Prints only.
