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.

End of the Day

 

 

​Painted this from a photo I took

from my motel room in Burns, Oregon last summer.

This scene played out across the road

and was so lovely - the colors in the clouds

and the light across the pasture and trees.

Low Tide at Sunset

 

 

 

 

​Another Oregon seascape painting. 

Along the rocky coastline, there are places

where the low tides leave pools of water among the rocks.

 Because of the often misty conditions and low lying fog,

 the sunsets are spectacular.

Alpine Glow on the Mountain

 

 

​Painted this from a photo I took of Mt. Hood

 aglow with the pinkish hue of sunset.

I particularly liked the location of this shot

because of the secondary point of interest

in the seasonal creek running through this farmer's land.

The gray skies had tiny traces of pink

 threaded through the rain clouds.

Forest Sunset

Plein Air painting of a brilliant sunset in the Mt. Hood
National Forest where I camped this summer.
There was a wildfire some distance from the campground,
and the wind blew the smoke for miles.
The smokey air caused the sunset to cast a golden glow
through the trees.
This glow had the strange effect of  hiding
many of the trees in this dense forest.

6" x 8" oil on canvas panel

The Golden Hour

On a rocky point on the California coast,
these two sun worshippers watch the final minutes
of a glorious summer day - the magic hour.

8" x 8" acrylic on canvas panel

San Juans Sunset

The sunsets can be amazing here in the San Juan Islands.
The coastal fog appears as a purple layer
over the bright reds and golds of the setting sun.

12" x 16" acrylic on Canson canvas paper

$75. 

Winter Sunset

Painted for DPW's "Picasso It" challenge,
where you are invited to style a painting after a favorite artist.

This painting I have styled after one of my favorite
living artists, Kevin Macpherson. Maybe in a few more decades
I will come close to his wonderful style.

A Wonderful Day

After a day spent sailing. A glorious sunset.

Sunset

This is the first of several En Plein Air paintings that I did while on a road trip in Oregon and Washington.
The colors are a tad more muted in the painting itself.  More ochre than orange, but still very close.
