Backyard Trees

"Backyard Trees", 10 x 10 In, Oil on Museum Board
I painted this during full summer, when the Northwest is the greenest place I know. These apple trees have been here for over 35 years! We lost one last winter--it got too wet and the tree just keeled over. Behind the apple trees are the cedars and the fir on the bank above the Cove. They are significantly taller and when the wind blows, I just have to trust the tree gods.

Wallowa Clouds

"Wallowa Clouds", 8 x 10 In, Oil on Museum Board
This was painted in the farmland south of Joseph, Oregon at the Wallowa Arts Festival Plein Air Competition in September. I was experimenting during this trip with palette knife. My paintings in the show won the En Plein Air Artist's Choice award. Thank you to everyone! We had so much fun painting out on that road with the mountains, the fields, the clouds and the cows!

Olympics from Hurricane Ridge

"Olympics from Hurricane Ridge", 10 x 12, Oil on Museum Board

This is a painting from Hurricane Ridge in the Olympics. There is a road from Port Angeles to this magnificent vista. We've been there many times--in the snow, in the rain, in the sun and on a beautiful day as this one with the clouds over the peaks. I've been organizing my paintings from the last nearly 30 years, and I found this one in a pile, forgotten.
