Discovery Park on Foot
Apr 6, 2016
Field Study: Discovery Park 040716. 6x12, oil on canvas panel. 2016. Moving from the Virginia countryside the city of Seattle has forced me to take on a different type of landscape in my paintings; I spent much of the winter trying to paint gray seascapes. However, in Discovery Park there is ...
Breaking the Ice with Leftovers
Apr 6, 2016
Trough Hill III. 6x12, oil on canvas panel. 2016 Procrastination is my forte. I've been finding other things to do for the past week rather than get back to the easel and start painting again.

Ridgeline (plein air)
Feb 22, 2016
Ridgeline (plein air). 10x8, oil and cold wax on linen panel. 2016. Since I moved to Seattle, I've had the chance to paint on location several times over the winter. Because the beaches are so accessible, I've painted mostly seascapes. Even though I went to the beach again today I took a different v...
