This painting is from a walk my husband and I took mid December in the fields above Joryville Park (just south of Salem, Oregon). The shadows were so delicious that I just had to paint them.
This is the beautifully rural Llangollen Canal, near Llangollen, Wales. As you can see from the wake, I took the reference photos for this painting looking back over the stern of our little narrowboat. To be ridiculously specific, this Bridge 36W looking back towards Trevor Basin on the last leg of our journey to Llangollen itself. Its idyllic up there.
These are my very first alcohol ink paintings. The process is fast and exciting if not exactly controllable. Each of these paintings was completed in under thirty minutes working on Yupo with an eyedropper, cotton ball, cotton swab, gravity, and a mister. The good news it creates beautiful glowing results almost by magic. The bad news is that over half the painting made this way are fit only for the trash. These are the winners:
Walking home from a morning walk in the woods we looked up the hill towards our house into magical morning light. I’ve done my best to capture that light in this pair of paintings.
These paintings have sold, but you can still purchase prints here.
One more painting from my Spring trip to Spain. This is Caceres, Extremadura inside the medieval city walls.
This painting has sold, but you can still purchase a fine art print.
Touring Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, and sliver of Nebraska this summer, I was forcefully reminded of what is so beautiful about the mountain west. It’s the vast ever changing vistas with little or nothing to clothe them or block the view. There’s a reason they call it big sky country.
I took the reference photos for this painting from the car window on I90 somewhere east of Butte but west of Bozeman. But it hardly matters, there isn’t an ugly spot on all of I90 throughout Montana.
It was the light on the peaks that caught me eye. If anyone can identify name of the mountain for me, I’d like to know it.
