Glacier Highway

8x10
oil on panel

This was done at about 7am one very windy, cold morning, from the back of my car. I sat on the tailgate, with the hatch popped open, and painted as fast as I could!

Jewel Tones

5x7
oil on canvas board

The sun was breaking through the mist and hitting the front of this cabin. I liked the contrast of the sharp edges on the cabin in relation to the mountain behind which was still shrouded in cloud cover.

Five Pots & A Plant

8x10
oil on canvas board

I had a really pleasant experience painting this group of pots at a local garden center. I sat on a bench in the shade, eating my lunch as I painted. I managed to keep my brush out of my mouth...

I continue to be challenged by this particular scene, looking across to the Washington side of the Gorge. One of these days I'll nail it!
