Sunset Ship

The Peter Iredale was a British ship that ran aground on the Oregon coast in 1906. Today, its rusty remains are a popular attraction at Fort Stevens State Park. The best time to see the shipwreck is at sunset, when the sky is painted with vibrant colors. The contrast between the beauty of nature and the decay of the metal creates a striking scene. The Peter Iredale is a reminder of the past and a symbol of the present.

Today’s art share has me thinking back to last summer and seeing this magnificent Oregon coast shipwreck in person! I’d love to go back at a different time of day, see how it changes with the tide…

Without getting overly SALTY (har har, I’m so punny), I found out yesterday that “Peter Iredale” was rejected from a juried show. As such, the framed original is now available for sale! (Prints are also available.)
