Rasmussen's Flowers

I got an early start this morning at the Gorge Pleinairists' chosen site for the week and was finished before the rest of the group showed up. Today is HOT and, besides, early am light is generally better. oil on canvas 8 X 10 purchase for $100 unframed plus shipping.

The House That Grant Built

This was a wonderful morning! I painted at a friend's property. It was the most fun I've had by myself since I was a teenager. Lieutenant U. S. Grant built this spring house in 1854 (with help from a Mr. Snipes)! oil on canvas 9 X 12 Unavailable due to having been burnt in a gallery fire (along with about 15 others of my paintings).

Catherine's View

Painting at Catherine Creek the other day was as good an experience as one can get painting. Good day, good view, good friend. oil on canvas 8 X 12 NFS until August

Looking to Washington

This was painted early in the morning several days ago while the clouds hung low. oil on canvas. 8 X 12. $200 unframed.

Conboy Wildlife Preserve

This morning was breezy, cool and cloudy-very enjoyable. I've never painted under these conditions thinking about how difficult it is to obtain an interesting painting. I have to get rid of my tube of Brown Madder Alizarin- a very DEADLY color. This plein air painting is authenticated by the insects and seeds stuck to the surface. oil on canvas 8 X 12 Purchase for $180 unframed

Koberg Beach

Yesterday, while out painting with friends, I had a bit of a breakthrough. I tried using a large brush which I'd been carrying for a long time, but not using. It forced me to loosen up. I'm hopeful it continues in that. oil on canvas 8 X 10 $160 unframed.

Bridge at Husum

I recently uncovered this older "on location" painting of a bridge in Southern Washington. It can be a little discouraging when you don't feel you're making much progress. 12 X 16 oil on canvas. Purchase for $380 unframed

Sylvester's View

This painting is of a view tucked away in a far corner of the Hood River Valley, OR. The painting is SOLD 11X14 oil on canvas
