Big Sky, Ferry Passing Blake Island

12x12 original oil painting of the Vashon-Southworth-Fauntleroy ferry passing between Vashon Island and Blake Island.  Broken clouds and haze keep the sky light and the ferryboat is backlit by the afternoon sun. I like the mood of the painting: big sky, tranquil water, distant ferryboat, sun and clouds; life seems to move at a different pace.  On my ETSY store
 

Southworth Ferry and Brown Hill SOLD

12 x 12 original oil seascape painting of the Southworth ferry in front of a dark hill on the Kitsap Peninsula.  Late afternoon light bathes the ferry in yellow and turns the sky orange.  Painted from photographs I took on location.  On my ETSY store

Ferry with Glare

12 x 12 original oil painting of the Vashon Fauntleroy Southworth Ferry as it heads across Puget Sound into the glare of the sun.  Ferries are a favorite subject of mine and I especially like them with the sparkling water.   I like how the bright sun throws everything into dark or light, obscures details  and simplifies broad areas.  Painted from photographs I took on location.  On my Etsy store
