Patit Road - NFS

"Patit Road", 10 x 12 In, Oil on Museum Board
I painted this in early June near Walla Walla in the southeastern corner of Washington State with Plein Air Painters of Washington and the Washington Pastel Society. It is usually dry and warm in Eastern Washington at this time of year, but it rained on and off the entire weekend.

Sketch Touchet Road

"Sketch Touchet Road", 8 x 10 In, Oil on Museum Board
This is definitely a very fast sketch, done in maybe 15 minutes before the rain started. But there is something I like about it and I may do a studio painting from it.

From Touchet Road

This painting was done in between the rainfall in the Southeast corner of Washington State. I think it is usually much drier in this area by this time of year, but we have had so much rain.

Clouds over Dana Passage - SOLD

Here I am again, painting out the back--its an ever changing view.

Clouds over Harstene

"Clouds over Harstene", 11 x 14 In, Oil on Museum Board
This is another subject that I just keep doing over and over--the view out my studio window. Clouds are not easy for me, so it is a process of trying to see them and understand them, and unlike my fake roses which I can set up for days, the clouds are only there for a few minutes before they have changed dramatically.

Roses in Glass Vase - SOLD

"Roses in Glass Vase", 18 x 14 In, Oil on Fredrix Panel
You probably notice that I keep doing the same flowers over again. It is practice and experimentation as much as anything, though sometimes it is different moods that have me painting them one way or another. One thing I try to do, is bring in different colors.

Road Near Angoin - SOLD

"Road Near Angoin", 12 x 16 In, Oil on Museum Boaard
The small village where we stayed in France had maybe 10-15 dwellings at the most, all of them old and made of stone. It was so pastoral and beautiful. We did have several cloudy days, but that makes for beautiful skies.
