Forever Frontage

9x12
oil on panel

Every time I look out over these hills, I feel an emotional tug of westward yearning. I imagine a similar feeling was felt by early explorers and settlers of our nation.

Northwest Forty

Early September. In the evening, the shadowed hills contrast beautifully with shorn fields.

Edge Of The Wild

6x12
oil on canvas board

This ended up being more of a study, since the light was disappearing fast. I'd like to get back over to this area again, sometime, to do a more developed piece.

Flower Farm

5x7
oil 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").

No Boundaries - SOLD

11x14
oil on canvas

I usually do plein air paintings in the early morning, but this day had been unable to accomplish much of anything (three-year-olds need a lot of attention). My husband graciously agreed to keep our daughter with him that evening so I could go out and paint. I drove around for a bit and settled on this view. The residents pay for it by tolerating the strong winds (first time I've ever had my easel actually start to tip on level ground), but I imagine they find it worth it!
