Bridge View in Aberdeen

A view from the highway bridge looking towards the railroad bridge in Aberdeen Washington.  Motorboats and sailboats are docked in the Wishkah River and late afternoon sunlight turns the bridge trusses yellow and casts complex shadows.  12" x 12"  Painted from photos I took on location.  On my ETSY store

Pasagshak Purple

The weather on Kodiak can be gray and dark, but when the sun shines, it is magical.  This is a view from Pasagshak on Kodiak Island.  The river parallels the shore and has created a high sand berm.  The distant hill turns purple in the late light.   This painting will be in a group show in Anchorage at the Artique Ltd Gallery in September. 

Bend in the Yakima SOLD

A view of a bend in the Yakima River between Cle Elum and Thorpe, Washington.  The summer light was slightly hazy so the distant hills became bluish and soft even though the day was warm.  This one will be in a show at Bainbridge Arts and Crafts in Winslow Washington (next month!) 18" x 36"

Twisp River Farmhouse

This is a warm sunny autumn view of a farmhouse near Twisp.  Last year we traveled Highway 20 on the last sunny days of fall and this painting was from a late afternoon side trip up the Twisp River Road.  The next day the skies were overcast and snow chased us home. 
6" x 8" oil on panel.

Twisp River Trees

Last fall on a visit to the east side of the Cascades we drove up the Methow Valley and found this stand of golden trees near Twisp.  It was a perfect fall day with warm sun shining through golden leaves.  The next day was overcast and rainy, and snow was falling in the passes as we scooted home before winter.  This painting is in my show in Anchorage this June at the Artique Ltd Gallery.
