Morning Clouds

 

 

​Painted from a photo I took last summer

 in the early dawn, while camping lakeside.

I loved the pastel colors of the morning clouds

against the cerulean blue sky.

Pure Gold

 

 

​I painted this sunset from a photo I took

at Haystack Reservoir in Central Oregon.

I loved the golden sky, and the golden reflection in the lake.

It looks as if the sun has melted and spread over the landscape

creating a 14 karat image.

Canoes and Kayaks at Sunset

 

 

Painted this from a combination of two pictures

I took last summer while camping

at beautiful Waldo Lake in Oregon.

It is gorgeous country

that was experiencing terrible wildfires

in various parts of the state,

but created amazing sunsets.

This is Our Land ... 2

 

 

Another painting of the Oregon SE high desert

from a photo I took while traveling through last summer.

I love the landscape there, with it's lovely colors,

and wonderful light.

 Often the sky would have dramatic cloud formations.

Mysterious

 

 

​Painted this en plein air at a lake where I camped late this summer.  

Added a few finishing touches in the studio.

The trees were already showing some fall colors. 

  Across the lake, they seemed to float in and out of the mist

 arising from the water in the early morning.

The sky was cloudy and overcast

which gave the whole scene a somewhat ethereal look.

Lake House Nocturne

" This was painted for a DPW challenge - 'A view from a cabin window'.

  on a lake with a dock and boat. 

There are wolves in the area, and their song is often heard at night. 

The light in the forest is often 'green' 

and it was this special glow that I wanted to achieve."

Early Snow

A snow storm high in the mountains, leaves the yellow grasses 

of the meadow with patches of early snow, 

and a light sheen of ice on the lake. 

Winter is coming.

Summer Storm

I painted this landscape using the Zorn palette,
of red, yellow, white and black.
It is my first attempt using his limited palette.
I love the way the colors form and come together
to enrich and compliment each other.
For sure I am going to try this again.

Fishin' With Grandpa

A little whimsical painting done for DPW's "Superstition" challenge.
Grandpa is wearing his lucky hat to ensure a good catch.
I actually took a photo of these two fishing in a lake in
Grand Mesa National Forest, Colorado.
Such a great scene, grandpa and grandson fishing in blue lawn chairs,
surrounded by a forest of wildflowers, with a pale blue lake as a backdrop.
