The day I photographed this scene it was overcast and slightly sprinkly, but the atmosphere was lovely, and I hope I captured just a fraction of it.

Catherine Creek View

6x8

oil on canvas board

I've lived in the Columbia Gorge for 12 years and this is the first time I've been to the Catherine Creek area. Discovering new, beautiful places is just one of the many benefits of being a part of a plein air group!

California Poppy

6x6

oil on canvas panel

This was an experiment and a challenge. I've never done an up-close study of a flower en plein air. I learned a lot doing it, and will be trying more in the future. One thing I learned was don't try it on a windy day!

oil on canvas

My last few paintings, which were inter-related, inspired me to take a stab at a true triptych, and this is the result. I enjoyed the process, and will probably try it again.

These paintings all came from a scene that is sandwiched between a vehicle storage yard and a grocery store parking lot. Serenity admidst clutter! I painted them in a round-robin fashion, getting all of them started and rotating them on and off my easel as I completed them.

The Other Side

8x10

Oil on Canvas Panel

This is a studio version of a plein air painting done at Mayer State Park. I love these hills in the eastern gorge, and will probably continue to accept their (painting) challenge. (I won't be climbing them anytime soon!)
