Yakima View II

A scene painted from photos I took near Yakima Washington.  The flat valleys are irrigated and intensely farmed and the surrounding hills are dry and bare.  The hillsides turn blue and purple in the bright sunshine.

Yakima View

Painted from photos I took on a trip through Yakima a couple of years ago.  I like the color of the distant hills and the highlights on the roofs. Feels sunny and warm.

Pale Lighthouse Pt. Robinson SOLD

How many ways are there to paint the lighthouse?   I think I've done them all,  but then I get a new idea.  A large metal radio tower and fence were built in the 1980's, just to the right of these buildings.  Using my artistic license I moved them just out of the picture. 

Near Willapa Bay SOLD

This is a view of a low lying meadow on Willapa Bay.  I liked the glare on the water and the sun lightened edges of trees.  The road seemed to end at the water.  Perhaps a place to launch a boat?

I just posted this painting on my Etsy shop.  Click here to see.

Sequim Slough

Another view of Sequim.  The land is low and sandy near the water and this tidal inlet works its way back towards the town.   I like how this painting is opposite of the previous Sequim view - dark in the foreground and light in the back.
This painting is for sale at my Etsy Store

Sequim View SOLD

It's often sunny in Sequim WA on the Straits of Juan de Fuca.  The Olympic mountains (in the background of this painting) catch all the moisture and leave clear blue skies.  This is a view near the ocean looking back at the mountains.

Near Island Meadow SOLD

Near Island is next to the town of Kodiak, where we used to live, and is connected to the town by a tall bridge.  It's a perfect place to picnic and stroll on a sunny day.  This painting will be in my June show at the ArtiqueLtd gallery in Anchorage AK.
