I liked the first version of this painting so much that I’ve done it again. This version is watercolor only with no gouache. It’s also reversed right to left and cropped a little differently. I’m not sure which version I like best. The first version is here: https://dancingfeatherstudio.com/blog/2022/12/22/windowonthepacific/

We aren’t going much of anywhere this summer due to Covid-19. Lucky for us, nearby Croisen Scenic Trail provides endless scenic fodder. This particular scene, is in the less trafficked part of the trail below Sprague High School.
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.
Despite the lack of canals and only a single bicycle, this is Amsterdam on a summer evening. But it could be anyone of a number of European street scenes.
The title is a bit of a pun. I painted the picture from a series of snapshots, and girls in the foreground are sharing a snapshot. I hope the atmospheric nature of the painting has little to do with snapshots.
This January we spent a weekend in Lincoln City. It being January in Oregon; it rained at lot; it was often foggy; and in between the sun shone. I took the photo for this little painting in the car on the way to wave watch in Depot Bay. Before we reached Depot Bay it rained again and then the sun came out to stay for the afternoon.
