Two-faced - SOLD
5x7oil on canvas board
This was my first August painting, and was a part of the 2009 NW Plein Air Show at the Columbia Art Gallery in Hood River, OR, in September. A friend first challenged to paint these cliffs as a quick study, and I have since painted them several times, which you will see in upcoming posts. I haven't tired of them and I hope you won't, either.

Chicken Charlie's
9x12oil on canvas board
This island is difficult to catch in the right light-- I had to go later in the morning than usual to get some contrasting shadows. I only painted the east end of the island. I have no idea why it is called "Chicken Charlie's." One of the mysteries, along with Plog Hill and Button Bridge, that I have yet to plumb.

Evening Soliloquy
6x8oil on canvas board
Looking west along the Columbia River. I'm fascinated by the cut-out shapes the hills make when the sun is setting.

Flower Farm
5x7oil on canvas board
Painted at a local winery/berry & flower farm. I photographed the painting after it had been varnished, so it's a little fuzzy (as was "Tranquility").

Tranquility
5x7oil on canvas
Looking east from the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge. I never, never get tired of looking at the beautiful area in which I live. It can make for dangerous driving...

Lavender Profusion
8x10oil on canvas board
A view of Mt. Hood from a local lavender farm. I really liked the dark shadow line of the trees, hemming in the blanket of lavender.

Water Way

oil on panel
Another June one. I remember being attracted to the tree crevices lying in shadow. It was a beautiful morning.

Selah - SOLD
8x16oil on canvas board
A June painting. We always seem to be driving east at this time of day, and I'm always looking in my rear-view mirror (or turning my head, which is not terribly safe...) to see the beautiful view behind me. I finally made it happen to get out at sunset and paint looking west. The title comes from the "amen" feeling this view gives me.

Another June painting. The day was so windy we had to weight out easels with bags of rocks. It's the price you pay...

Mt. Hood Classic
8x10oil on panel
The beautiful view of Mt. Hood from a Husum winery. It would be hard to run out of inspiration in the Columbia Gorge.

This is from June 2009. I am finally getting back to my blog, now that my son is 2 months old, so I will be catching up!
