When I first saw the graceful shape of this White Ironstone Vase I thought it was perfect for a still life composition.

Pearl District Composition - sold

I am exploring painting some colored glass for variety in the compositions with the grapes. I bought the red glass from an antique store in the Pearl District in Portland, it's very cool. Everything in the painting came from the Pearl District! Turquoise glass is always fun to paint, when ever I can find it.

Gorge Trees - available

Part of a Columbia Gorge Tree Series I am working on... I am painting this series on wood, that shows through the light parts of the painting, in the sky and the foreground. I think the wood showing through has an interesting look to it as part of the overall composition.

16"x20" :: oil on 3/4 inch cradled basswood :: can be hung without a frame, it would also look great framed in a floater frame.

Last Drop - sold

The last drop of wine...

The Pacific Northwest Plein Air 2011 Show was in it's 7th year, and it was a very fun, rewarding show to do again. It's always fascinating to me, how we start out on the first day of painting (5 days of painting) with no art show, and after 5 days, we have a wonderful show. There were 40 participants in the show this year. I made lots of new painter friends from the group. Our show juror was Jim Lamb, PAPA member.

If you want to check out how it went - day by day - here is the blog address for the event:

And there is one painting still available for purchase after opening night : Oaks and Yellow Starthistle 8x10
