Coastal Bluff is a wall art print I created using an impasto oil looking technique to create this scene. This technique uses bold brush strokes and bright colors creating a traditional oil painting look. This particular wall art print depicts the view looking up the coastline of bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
The setting is the rugged Oregon coastline, which is known for dramatic scenery of tall tree covered bluffs and the beautiful Pacific Ocean for as far as the eye can see. If you look real close, you can just make out the Pacific Coast Highway as a thin white strip along the bluffs. Thoughts?

Oooo I really like the “impasto oil technique” — it’s perfect for this one. Plus it’s a gorgeous scene anyway. I love the way the waves look, and the colors are superb. Have a thriving Thursday, Kirt. Huge hugs.
Thank you very muchTeagan for the feedback! My best to you!!
A modern twist to a traditional landscape. I like it a lot. I see the Pacific Coat Highway which hubby and I travelled on a Honda Goldwing a few years ago. A memorable trip.
Same kind of trip my wife and I were doing when I came across this scene! Thanks for stopping by Darlene!!
That’s cool!! A nice couples thing to do.
It was actually our first couple trip in years by ourselves…our youngest was in college in Seattle and we were headed up there from San Diego…loved it…hit every lighthouse in No Cal and Oregon on our way!!
This is really, really beautiful Kirt 🙂
Your kind words are truly appreciated !! Thanks Irene!!
You are welcome, Kirt 🙂
I like this artistic impression very much, Kirt. I’ve traveled that highway twice, and it really does have spots that will take your breath away. Thanks for another memory jog!
My pleasure….you’re due for a west coast visit soon…..just sayin….:)
I’ve been to SoCal and I do have to go back there this year. I prefer the northwest, but…
I’m with you there….glad we have a reason to keep going up there!!!
Beautiful art and landscape Kirt! It’s interesting how the cliffs looks more realistic and the sky looks kind of psychedelic. 🙂 It looks like a double exposure photo.
Part of the painting technique….thanks for stopping by Brad!!
It’s fun and unique. Do you mean digital painting or literal painting over a photo?
digital painting…when I use this technique, I like large bold brush strokes for background or sky…and then more detailed strokes for specific subject matter…
Thanks Kirt. That explains why the cliffs are more detailed than the sky.
Digital painting, on your computer?? Wow!! Do you do it from memory, or looking at one of your photos?
From one of my photos….
Oh, ok. Thanks for letting me know.
Stunning Kirt. This may be my top pick ever. Love it!
Thank you very much Sue!!!
Wow this is just fabulous!! I love it.
Peta
Thank you very much Peta!!
AMAZING! I have to say this is a new art form to me… LOVE IT!
Thank you very much Nancy!!
Kirt – It’s okay if you want to tear my heart out. I love every inch of the Pacific Ocean and Hwy 1 is dear to my heart. Tom and I spent the first 13 years of our marriage living a stones throw from the Pacific Ocean and just yesterday when Tom opened the front door, he said, “Yep, we’re still in Arkansas.”
You know we can’t complain. If we were still in our magical cottage by the sea, Tom would probably be dead by now, so I must say thank you to the medical care we have here. Best in the world for Tom!
Back to your photographing of ‘my’ Pacific Coast – it’s perfect you know. Monterey/Carmel was our stomping ground and broke our hearts when I was drafted to DC.
Your photos are as brilliant and as beautiful as ever. You sure know how to tug at a gal’s heart strings! Sheri
Your comments move me Sheri!!! Bless you!! As always my best and prayers to you and Tom!!
The Pacific Ocean has great depth and you capture it well here ~ Very realistic! 🙂
Thank you very much Christy!!!
Hey this is lush I love what you did with the sky, did you use a Strensall because I had to make block sort of shapes to make out an object or something and found so hard in a levels. Got an a* though! Hope you can check out my page and give it a follow as I update all the new fashion trends and beauty tips! Hope you find my posts useful xxx
