The Sand Dollar is beautiful by itself, in all it's natural beauty.

But it also inspires this artist to paint. I love the unique form and texture it provides as a backdrop for my paintings.

I hope you will enjoy the Sand Dollars below.

When I am at the ocean, I am always amazed at the beauty that I see around me.

The light play on the water has always fascinated me. The way the Sun shimmers upon it's surface.
The beauty of the reflections of the boats in a harbor.

This was painted after visiting a harbor in Crescent City, California.

I can sit for hours and hours, watching and listening to the waves crash against the shore, the gulls and pelicans flying diving for fish.

The setting sun send an invitation better than the best movies I have seen.

There is something so beautifully moving about sitting on the beach, on the Oregon Coast and taking in it's beauty.

For me it is a religious feeling of awe, for all the beauty that our creator shares with us. For he is the greatest artist of all!

Another trip to the Oregon Coast, the fresh salt air, painting "en plein air". I love it! Here is my latest artwork, I hope you enjoy them.


Pelican Sunset Beach by Linda Hoxie (On a Sanddollar)

While we were there this time, there were pelicans, a group of 20 or more fishing for hours just off shore. They would fly above watching the water below, then tucking their wings, their beaks aimed straight down. Dive into the cold pacific, coming up with beaks full of fish. What a show it was!


Crescent City Beach by Linda Hoxie

This painting was inspired by the mist on the tree covered mountains, creeping towards the rocky shores of the beach in Crescent City, California.


Heceta Head Lighthouse (ACEO 2 1/2 x 3 1/2) by Linda Hoxie

Near Florence Lies Heceta Head Lighthouse, beautiful on the cliff, high above the waters so deeply blue they look purple.


Ocean storm by Linda Hoxie (ACEO 2 1/2 x 3 1/2)

Inspired by the Oregon Coast, Ocean Storm was entirely my own creation. Painted while we were in Florence, Oregon.

Lana's Manatee was a gift for a friend, who has a gentle spirit like that of the manatee.

A comment left on my website about Lana's Manatee:

A portrait sketch of a beautiful woman"

Inspired by the memories of this artist of fishing at Wikiup Creek, near Bear Idaho in her younger days with her husband. The call of the pair of hawks that always flew over head. My husband, always the comedian named one of them Bigka. There were always chipmunks and beavers building their dams. These are wonderful memories of simple times in the quiet forest catchng pan size brook trout.

My favorite place to spend time is the oregon coast. It is where I would love to retire. I love watching the sunset over the ocean!

My love of horses has stayed with me over the years, content now to just watch them from a distance. Yet I can still remember with fond memory the smell of the horse, the leather of the saddles and hay. The warm feeling of their skin. So gentle yet strong they are.

"Snow Light, So Bright"
The Northern Light Series was created because of my love of the phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis.
Northern lights, or aurora borealis, are actually caused by solar wind colliding with air molecules in the earth's atmosphere.
The results are spectacular!
