Wild and Scenic

6"x6" | oil on archival gesso board

I took the photo for this painting while kayaking on the Klickitat River. It is located in south-central Washington. The Klickitat is one of the longest undammed rivers in the northwest. This part of the Klickitat River is included in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, an Act created to preserve in a free-flowing condition selected rivers of the nation which "with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar values". This is truly a "wild" river.

Northern Lights

6"x6" | oil on archival panel

You know, like the Aurora Borealis... I do a lot of experimenting with my little 6"x6" paintings, and well, this is an experiment. Can you really paint the Northern Lights? I have been inspired by them lately, living in Oregon, they do appear occasionally, and it makes me just wonder, how primative nomadic people must have felt when they saw them. It's a wonderful world, so many amazing things.

Corner of 3rd and Oak Street

8"x8" | oil on archival panel

I painted this 8" x8" Plein Air last year for the Pacific Northwest Plein Air Event, I was cleaning out my studio and found it! I had never put it online. So here it is!

The corner business is a lingerie store that has been very popular with Plein Air painters, challenged to paint the headless manequin in the window... luckily she was very decently dressed when I painted her. The thing I liked about this view, is the perspective of the buildings going down the street, and the shadow leading into the painting, and the white stripe in the road starting in the shadow and ending in the sun. I also liked the little yellow fire hydrant on the right too.

Mt Hood Plein Air Morning

Yvonne's Farm in Fall

8"x10" | oil

I did this painting as a demo for my class yesterday morning. I told the class I would only use a limited palette, Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Ultramarine Blue and Permanent Red Light. I am always happy with the color combinations you can get using so little, just 3 colors and white. I got bright yellow greens, beautiful violets, intense dark greens, neutrals, and they all work together. Keep it simple, is always good.
It is a little larger than my normal daily paintings, but I'm still starting it at the same price as the smaller 6"x6" paintings.
