Golden Hour at Siletz Bay | Original acrylic painting by Olga V. Walmisley-Santiago |Impressionism | Magic Realism |Oregon coast

Golden Hour at Siletz Bay, 24x18 in. acrylic painting on canvas

One evening, as the sea mist was beginning to form, the setting sun cast its golden glow over Siletz Bay, at Lincoln City, on the Oregon coast. Looking over Siletz Bay from the fishing dock behind Mo's, we see the two larger of the Four Brothers rock islands where the the remains of an unidentified schooner lie in the sands just to their west at the mouth of Schooner Creek. The rotting ribs of the wreck which gave the creek its name were visible at low tide until buried by sand several years ago. One of several old Native American stories about the wreck tells that the schooner came straight in off the ocean without a man aboard and ran aground in the exact spot where it now lies. 

Nature, legend and history intertwine.

Comes in a contemporary gold frame, ready to hang.

Shipped free within the US.

►ABOUT THE ARTIST◄

Olga V. Walmisley-Santiago, a British artist based in Independence, Oregon, is known for her vibrant acrylic landscape and still life paintings filled with color, movement and detail, and watercolors that dance with reflections and light.  She celebrates the beauty of nature and brings out the “hidden colors” in the depths of a river, the sparkle of a waterfall, or the edge of a leaf.  Her impressionistic paintings create a world of “magic realism” with dream-like colors and uplifting tones.   Olga was born and raised in London, England,, and has strong ties to Spain and Mexico, having lived in London,  Spain, Ohio, and Kentucky before moving to Oregon.   These layers of culture and experience lend her a unique artistic perspective, and a sense of life as a constant exploration and adventure.  As she continues on her exploration of Oregon and beyond, she constantly takes photos, to later recapture some of the essence of a fleeting moment of beauty in a special place.  She highlights the magic of natural beauty with colorful paintings of mountains, rivers, flowers, fields, waterfalls and coastal scenes, and the creatures and plants that live there.
