Black Sands Solace - Archival print
“Black Sands Solace” is based on Mike Oria’s photograph of Black Sands Beach in Shelter Cove, California.
As soon as I saw Oria’s photograph, I knew I wanted to create a painting of this special beach. Thank you Mike, fellow artist! Mike let me paint this incredible shot of the waves meeting the rocks and kelp in front of the Kings Range. Check out his website linked in my stories and on my website.
I have traveled to Shelter Cove once. It was the final destination at the end of a Lost Coast backpacking trip. The Lost Coast is the part of the Northern California coastline where the terrain was too rugged for early HWY 1 engineers. The famous coastal highway does not follow the coastline through northern Mendocino county and southern Humboldt county due to the steepness of the Kings Range mountains, coastal erosion, and the active tectonic fault lines. The wilderness in the Kings Range feels untouched, but I know it is far from being so. Waking up to find elk in my campsite, hiking upon fresh bear breakfast remnants every morning, and delicately avoiding elephant seals felt like being on another planet. I wish being that up close and personal with wildlife didn’t make me feel like I wasn’t on planet Earth, but it did. It does.
I grew up in a rural Sierra Nevada Mountain foothill town. Tahoe, Yosemite, and every trail and swimming hike in between does not feel as remote as the Lost Coast did. Maybe it’s the missing highway and/or the early death of the logging railway system. I am not sure. But the experience has stuck with me. Hikes like that one make me think what this land was like before colonization, before the Gold Rush. Special moments on that trail create deep questions for me. Questions like, What could our public lands look like? What could they look like if we had listened or choose to listen to First Peoples? And: What can public lands look like moving forward?
If you have not visited Shelter Cove or the Lost Coast, I highly recommend doing so. It is a sacred place with lots of active fauna and a tumultuous history. I hope you find similar solace there. Please bless the black sands for me.
The original painting (pictured in the last image) was made using acrylic on canvas.
