Llangollen Reflections (watercolor 17 x 23) sold
I took the reference photo I used for this painting on the Llangollen Canal, from our narrowboat rental. But it could be still water and trees, just about anywhere.

Just Below the Hilltop (watercolor 14 x 18) sold
Another view of Sprague Trail. The woods there are so light, since the ice storm of 2021 thinned the forest.

The Standing and the Fallen (16 x 23 watercolor) available
This Spring Salem, Oregon had back to back ice storms leading to many downed trees and branches. While I mourn many of the trees lost, nature’s thinning does have it’s compensations. One of those is that woods around our house, are an entirely new place, while still remaining beautiful. This lit up hillside was dark, tangled, and mossy just months ago. Now it is bright and open.

Dappled Spring Trail II (watercolor 13 x 21) available
Two sunny spring views, of the trial below our house in Salem, Oregon. Croisan Creek Trail, is an endless source of inspiration. During the current shelter in place orders, it is even more valuable as an escape.

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.
