Ecola Beach, Oregon 1904

Childe Hassam's "Ecola Beach, Oregon" (1904) is a plein air painting that showcases the artist's signature Impressionistic style. Hassam captures the light and atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest coastline with vibrant brushstrokes and a focus on the interplay of light and shadow. The painting depicts a sweeping vista of Ecola Beach, with the curve of the shoreline accentuated by the breaking waves and the contrasting tones of the sandy beach and rocky cliffs. The painting's composition is also notable for its sense of depth, with the distant mountains and the cloudy sky receding into the background.
