November's Bounty



When traveling through the countryside of Washington state,
I frequently came across tables, baskets and boxes
of various types of produce set out at the entrance of the farm drive.
An honor box and sign with the cost were provided
so that passers-by could stop and make a purchase.

Ginger's Garden



This is another painting I did while traveling this summer.
Don't know the name of them, but the lovely pink flowers
were a frequent sight in the beautiful gardens in Anacortes, WA.

The Blue Bicycle



I saw this quaint little scene while traveling this summer in Northern WA.
I stopped and painted a quick plein air sketch. I think these little
scenes are gifts from the muses.

Chickadee in Apple Tree



Much of my summer travels was in the state of Washington
where they have many apple orchards.
This painting is a homage to the many yummy apples
I sampled while motoring and painting plein air.

Painted this when I was in Anacortes, WA.
There were so many beautiful flowers,
everywhere it seemed, people had lavish gardens.

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.

which have gardens, with a profusion of colorful flowers,
especially these tall lovely Hollyhocks.
