There's this particular bend in the river that I've had my eye on. I always thought it needed to be captured, glad I finally got to it! This one took a while to finish, as I was pulled away right in the middle to attend to other business. But, I think it's about completed - at least as far as I wish to take it.
A totally different color scheme for me! I've been thinking about clouds lately. When I saw this sunset a couple weeks ago I decided to give it a shot. At first, throwing down those intense oranges and yellows, I wasn't sure it was going to work out - my pallete is generally a lot more restrained.. but I think it worked out pretty well.
Oil on Canvas - 12x24". Completed Jun 16, 2013. SOLD. This is another painting of the East Fork of the Lewis River, near our home in Washington (pacific northwest). Here I'm trying to stay loose, but not too loose - I'm working to strike the right balance between level of detail and still acheive a good painterly quality.
This is painting of an area on the East Fork of the Lewis River, near Battle Ground WA. The area is below Moulton Falls. Sold to the Battle Ground Community Library, November 2014!
