Harstine in Mist

"Harstine In Mist", 7 x 11, Oil, 2003.

It is both fun and interesting to find old paintings. This image is a slice of the northern view from my studio window--of the southern tip of Harstine Island in South Puget Sound. The island is variously called Harstine, Hartstene and Harstene--and Wikipedia has a lengthy discussion of it.

Graysmarsh Farm Sequim

"Graysmarsh Farm Sequim", 8 x 10 In, Oil, 2014

Ironically I found another painting from Sequim, painted in 2014 on Graysmarsh Lavendar Farm. It was taken and hung by my husband in his office and was not in my database! I am ever taken by greens and lavendars--

Dusty Road Utah

"Dusty Road Utah", 6 x 8 In, Oil, 2021

One common suggestion among artists is to use strong value patterns and I often do that. But being the contrarian that I am, I decided to paint a scene with a narrow value range. There is nothing that compares to the desert scenes in Utah. This value structure is enhanced with a light background around the painting, but I am stuck with my dark blog color.

This is my painting in the Plein Air Washington Artists "Little Gems" show in Anacortes, Washington during the month of August. I love the memories it evokes for me.

Rhododendron Garden

"Rhododendron Garden", 8 x 10 In, Oil, 2021

This was my second painting at the Rhododendron Botanical Garden in Federal Way--a beautiful place ironically situated just next to the I-5 Freeway. It was another opportunity to reflect and meditate in paint on our beautiful Northwest greens.

Pink Rhododendron

Pink Rhododendron", 8 x 10 In, Oil, 2021

This was painted a couple of weeks ago at the Plein Air Washington paint-out at the Rhododendron Garden in Federal Way. The garden is lush and besides the bright rhododendron flowers, it was a lesson in greens--so many different shades and variations of green--
