© 2013 Pam Van Londen. Mary’s Peak 9. Acrylic on 12×12-inch Gallery-Edged Canvas
I’ve been staring at this one on the wall for months trying to decide what to do. I added a bit of orange to the foreground and now I’m happy with it.
The iridescent paint shimmers in the light and even in low light it glows a bit.
Because the image is painted around the edges, it does not need a frame.
Slot Canyon set

What it is about slot canyons that create excite- ment? Perhaps it is the cool air, mystery around the corner, hidden treasures, and potential danger?
These paintings are abstracted and from my imagination. They represent a frontal and/or sky view with a raging river.
More arctic landscapes
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Arctic 2, 8×8 Acrylic on Clayboard
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Arctic 3, 8×8 Acrylic on Clayboard
I’ve switched to acrylic paint lately to see how it works on Ampersand Claybord panels. I like its staining properties and the textures created when I remove partly-dried paint.
In addition, I’m using interference and iridescent paints to provide interesting color effects, which can be seen when you move from right to left. These paints also provide 3-D texture at full strength.
Come to Fall Festival to view them in person…the photos don’t catch all the fascinating nuances.
Crow Nesting in mixed media
Revised © Pam Van Londen 2010, Crow Nesting, 24×18 mixed media acrylic
Since I had a whole day to play with paint, I created something unusual (for me anyway)…a mixed media piece of the current favorite subject (crows). I had left over ribbon and paper flowers from previous craft projects, so incorporated them into this acrylic painting.
Birds often find different fibers to add to their nests. This little crow found some gold ribbon, a doodad, and some transparent silky ribbon.
This painting has been revised. See the new version.
Forest Dreams abstract painting
$50 © Pam Van Londen 2010, Forest Dream 1, oil 8×8-inch canvas panel; unframed.
For weeks now, I’ve been trying to work out what this painting ought to be. I think it is done now. Not sure if this one is the start of a new series or not.
If you like it, let me know and I’ll make more.
Molalla River Shore 3
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2009, Molalla River Shore 3, 8x8x1 on oil on clayboard
The transparent oil technique that I’ve been using the last couple of weeks took a new turn this morning with this painting on Gessobord (instead of my usual Claybord.
The topmost oilier layers push the bottommost layers to the side, creating thin dark edges. I like this style and will try it again next painting session.
