Mudejar Arch (watercolor 13 x 18) SOLD

Aqua Falls (watercolor 16 x 23) SOLD
No these falls aren’t actually named the Aqua Falls. I don’t know their name. I think of them as the aqua falls, because the water is the most beautiful aqua color there. There being the first falls on the Opal Creek Trail, east of Salem, Oregon. If you hike the trail you’ll find them just as you reach the abandoned mill machinery. You have to scramble a little off trail down some rocks to reach this view of them. The good news is you’ll probably have them to yourself.

Setenil de los Bodegas of Cadiz Province, Spain is one of the more interesting pueblos blancos of Andulacia. Unlike most pueblos blancos it occupies either ridge of a valley rather than a hilltop. Many of the houses are semi-troglodyte, occupying shallow caves in the valley walls. One street includes a natural tunnel.
The view in this painting is from our apartment porch in Setenil looking across at the old castile.

Morning in Le Marais (17 x 23 Watercolor) SOLD
My husband, daughter, and I spent a pleasant morning walking through the Le Marais district in Paris, on our way to the Pompiduo Modern Art Museum. The Le Marais was once inhabited by the French aristocracy and later become center of the Jewish community in Paris. Post WWII, it is once again inhabited by traditional Jews. I found the Jewish men’s back hats and suits striking against the back drop of more casually dressed tourists.

Sunflowers with Chair (16 x 20 Collage) Available
This is the first collage I’ve published on-line. It is hand-printed paper on plywood.
I began my foray into collage by hand-printing and hand-marbling paper to create a paper palate. I print paper using stamps, found objects, combs, palate knifes, and other implements to texture acrylic paint on a gel pad. As I work, I stamp a sheet of paper with the paint I’m lifting from the gel pad. When I have the gel pad textured to my satisfaction, I lift one or two prints from it’s surface by laying paper down on the pad. Later, I may stamp the gel pad mono-prints with a contrasting color. The goal is to have many textures in a full range of color and value.
Ultimately I tear the paper into little pieces and glue it to boards with liquitex to create paper “paintings.”

Haarlem Kirk (16 x 23 watercolor) Available
We spent our last day in the Neatherlands in Haarlem. Haarlem is just just under a half hour by train from Amsterdam, but feels like it’s miles away because where Amsterdam is large and lively, Haarlem is small and quiet.
The young women in the foreground were adding more chalk to a square already covered in graffiti. None of it was pictorial and all of it obviously washes off with each night’s rain.

Fog Over Croisan Valley (17 x 23 watercolor) Sold
This painting is a little closer to home than most of my recent work. I see this view every morning on the way home from my walk down Croisan Scenic Trail. The trial occupies a long thin, Salem park with our neighborhood a hundred feet above it and Croisan Creek a few hundred feet below it. The path is beautiful in all seasons and rarely feels nearly as close to town as it is. It’s particularly evocative in the fog.
This painting has sold, but you can still purchase a fine art print.

After Midnight (17 x 23 watercolor) Available
After Midnight began with a lecture and demonstration I did for the The Watercolor Society of Oregon’s Fall 2016 Convention. For the demo, I painted the Munich Rathaus Tower six time in various stages of completeness. Below is the one painting of the six I completed:
Munich Rathaus (8 x 13 watercolor) Available
I liked the this little painting so much, I felt compelled to do it again in a larger format. But I didn’t want to just repeat the painting on a larger scale. The tower, like many in Germany, reminds me of fairy tale illustrations. So I ran with that notion tweaking the scene just a little to add a rather unreal illustrative moon and an impossible sky.
