Clouds on the Horizon
Feb 26, 2016
Clouds on the Horizon. 9x12, oil and cold wax on linen panel. 2016. This was created from a combination of two different field (or should that be beach?) studies in an attempt to recreate the feeling of light in the sky over Puget Sound. Using cold wax medium gave the paint a lot of body. I tried to...
Puget Sound Looking North
Feb 24, 2016
Puget Sound North (plein air). 5x7, oil on linen panel. 2016 This high key sketch was done on the beach in Ballard (again!). This view catches my eye every time I go to the beach - over the water the north sky often has a pale blue cast that tends towards orange at the horizon. This was done en...
Discovery Park

Alki Point
Feb 1, 2016
Alki Point. 5x7, oil and cold wax medium on linen panel. 2016 After seeing this view during a ferry ride to Bremerton, I did a small charcoal sketch of the scene. Since then I've made a few attempts to create it in paint, all of them abandoned. Today I decided to try again, this time on a small pane...
A Cold Morning on Lake Union
Feb 1, 2016
Lake Union (plein air). 8x10, oil and cold wax medium. 2016 On my way to the studio this morning I stopped off at Lake Union Park in Seattle to do a small study of the view across to University District. It was cool to watch the seaplanes landing in front of me while I worked. Although I am very par...
