Single Rose

"Single Rose", 12 x 8 In, Oil on Museum Board
You know that I love painting roses--its a theme that fascinates me time after time.

Nisqually Sky

"Nisqually Sky", 10 x 12 In, Oil on Museum Board
This was one of the sketches I did out in the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge--where the Nisqually River, which originates on Mt. Rainier, flows into Puget Sound. In the early 70's there was an attempt to build a Tacoma like port in the Nisqually Delta, stopped by citizen efforts to protect this beautiful area.

Road to Long Beach

"Road to Long Beach", 11 x 14 In, Oil On Museum Board
When we drove down to Long Beach on the southwest coast of Washington State there was a beautiful sunset which photos cannot convey, so the painting has to have some memory in it.

Turquoise Dress - NFS

"Turquoise Dress", 12 x 9 In, Oil on Panel
So much of painting is not particularly romantic, its more like an obsession--doing it every day whatever the mood of the moment. You notice that I do have certain themes, and painting my daughters is one of them.

Roses - NFS

"Roses", 14 x 14 In, Oil on Panel
It is interesting to try the same painting over again with variation in setup and size. It makes me think about what I did the first time around and how I want to do it this time.

Harstene Light

"Harstene Light", 7 x 9 In, Oil on Museum Board
This is another of the small sketches of Harstene Island across the passage from Zangle Cove. Big ships come through here to the Port of Olympia.

This is the far view out my window, looking out across Dana Passage to Harstene Island and beyond that to the Peninsula. Sometimes I like to do several of these small sketches.

Zangle Cove

"Zangle Cove", 11 x 14 In, Oil on Panel
Every day I look out at the cove and I am often inspired to paint it because it changes every few minutes. I feel lucky to live in this beautiful spot where the rhythms of the earth are so apparent.
