    Hello I'm from Oregon and have a beach house in Barview. Which is between Garibaldi and Rockaway. Next trip I would love to invite you and your sister to be my guest. We have a beautiful view of jetty. My favorite is walking down through the park/campground to the beach where I often sit and paint. It's a very quite spot. Please come back to our lovely coast. You did a fantastic job of showing off our spectacular area and I thank you so much!

    Grew up in Brookings, Oregon. A mile from Harris Beach.

    This makes me home sick. I'm an Oregonian who lived at the Oregon Coast for 15 years. I spent many days and hours all along Oregon shores, especially at Sunset Beach, west of Coos Bay. Did you see Botanical Gardens in Shore Acres state park at the old Simpson estate? I used to go there almost daily for quite a while. I didn't paint that entire time. What a shame. But I was a full time mother raising my 5 children. It warms my heart that you are taking this time with your sister, to travel and paint.

    Your sister is brave for painting oils on the go like this! Mine would have been a complete mess by the time I got home! 😂 it would have been nice to see her share her work too!
    I would like to start painting on my beach, but have a couple questions though.
    How does your tripod hold up on the sand? I just bought one but didn’t even think about how it would hold up over time being used on the dry sand and I’m just afraid that sand will get into the legs stopping it from working properly. Does the sand ruin the legs being able to go up and down at all?
    Also, I’m curious what you used as a tripod extension to attach to your tripod that holds your phone to record you working.
    Thanks!!
