Jeffrey Hull Gallery



One of our favorite places to visit along the Oregon Coast is the artist community of Cannon Beach. One of the most inspiring galleries we visit is that of Jeffrey Hull.





Jeffrey began his painting career over 30 years ago as a resident of the beautiful coastal art community of Cannon Beach, Oregon. Though primarily self taught, he did study under three Northwest Watercolorists in the early 70’s. Known for his ability to capture the beauty and moods of the places where water joins land, Jeffrey controls the difficult medium of watercolor, often in very large paintings.





He is rarely found far from the ocean’s edge, the source of his inspiration. His deep love for the area is clearly seen in his original paintings and prints. In 1987, after many years of displaying his artwork locally, Jeff and his wife Carol opened their own gallery in Sandpiper Square in downtown Cannon Beach.





His work is displayed in the form of Original Watercolors, Oils, and Giclée & Lithograph Prints. Jeffrey is a signature member of the prestigious American Society of Marine Artists.

Grass Valley Chapel















We discovered this beautiful chapel on a road trip through Central Oregon in summer of 2008. Many times abandoned buildings give off a vibe of sadness or uneasiness but this one was different. I was so captivated by the history and the stillness this place exuded that we wandered in and around it for about two hours.

The only information I have found online regarding this abandoned chapel was a state archive photo from 1961 when it still had glass in its windows. It's obviously been empty for a very long time but is amazingly well preserved.

A work of art becomes a work of art...
