Palouse Falls

"Palouse Falls", 9 x 9 In, Oil on Museum Board

I painted with the Plein Air Washington group last weekend at Palouse Falls. The dry earth has amazing color and I'm always so excited to be up over the mountains to the east of our wonderful green and often wet Puget Sound region!

Watching

"Watching", 14 x 11 In, Oil on Museum Board

This is another in my portrait series. I'm experimenting with certain things and I'm not at the point where I understand it enough to talk about it. That may seem counter intuitive, because the mind says that I ought to know what my goal is, but changing the processes of the eye, the hand and some notion in the mind is not particularly straightforward.

Every year our artist group goes out to the Nisqually Reach, where one of the main rivers of the region, the Nisqually, flows into Puget Sound from the Nisqually Glacier on Mt. Rainier. The delta has been restored in the last few years and now has a raised board walk out over the tidal marshes.

Girl in Purple Dress


"Girl in Purple Dress", 12 x 10 In, Oil on Museum Board

It is good to do a series, such as this portrait series. Eventually I come to something of a procedure, and then finding that, can have the notion of doing it very differently. I am still coming to that point--

Across to Whidbey


"Across to Whidbey", 8 x 10 In, Oil on Museum Board

This was a fast 45 minute painting from Chetzemoka Park in Port Townsend looking across the channel to Whidbey Island. I was teaching an outdoor painting class to a group of wonderfully spirited women painters. It was intense and a lot of fun--
