Happy Tangerine

8 x 10 oil on canvas covered hardboard

This painting is a quick one I did last fall; it makes me happy. It smiles back. It helps because I am frustrated this week with a time squeeze. Too many commitments, not enough painting time. I hope this happy tangerine plate will brighten your day as it did mine.

Evergreen Landscape

5 x 7 oil on hardboard

This painting represents an area near Highway 101 and Shelton in Washington State. Shelton used to call itself the Christmas tree capital of the world. Clearly many trees still grown there, but a huge decline in the logging industry has changed that little town and much of the Northwest. This train tressel in the middle of the wilderness represents the change. It is based on a photo I took last fall as I passed through the area.

Washington Coast Beach Grass

8 x 10 oil on hardboard

The beach grass and the sand dunes on the Pacific coast changes with the seasons and the tide. Some people say the beach is always the same, but I see it differently every time I visit.

Storm Cloud

This little landscape was from a photo I took this fall near Shelton, Washington. It had been pouring rain all morning and cleared just long enough for me to get a glimpse of the rain clouds in the distance.
