Riding the Storm — Cape Disappointment, Washington Fine Art Print
From $450. Click photo for printing options and purchase
The wave does not care about the birds. The birds do not care about the wave. And in that mutual indifference — the enormous Pacific swell building and curling in a wall of extraordinary turquoise blue while three seabirds ride the updraft above it with the casual mastery of creatures entirely at home in conditions that would end a human life in minutes — Riding the Storm finds its subject and its soul. This is Cape Disappointment at full power, the confluence of the Columbia River and the open Pacific producing the kind of wave energy that has made this stretch of the Washington coast one of the most dangerous and most photographed in the American West. The wave that dominates the frame is extraordinary in its scale and in its color — that deep, translucent turquoise that appears only in the largest and most powerful swells, when the water column is thick enough to absorb the warmer wavelengths of light and pass only the blue-green through. Above it the storm sky presses down in layers of grey and silver, and through it the three birds move with an ease that is the image's quiet counterpoint to all that drama below — living proof that what looks like chaos from the shore is simply weather to those born to navigate it. On ChromaLuxe Metal or Lumachrome HD TruLife Acrylic, the extraordinary turquoise wave and the dramatic storm sky of Riding the Storm render with a depth and brilliance that makes it one of the most visually commanding and emotionally resonant pieces in the coastal collection — a natural companion to Turquoise Thunder and The Lone Witness for collectors drawn to the full, magnificent power of the Pacific Northwest coast.
Limited edition of 50.
