An old wooden fence and a field full of Shasta daisies is a common scene in Oregon in the summer.

Etsy Treasuries for January
Other artisans have listed my work on their Etsy Treasuries this month.
Valley Morning 11
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Valley Morning 11, 8×8 Acrylic on Claybord
Lately, I prefer acrylic over oil paint on the Claybord surface.
With it, I can still get a transparent underpainting that shows a lot of visual texture then pile up thicker paint on top to create a physical texture.
Valley Morning #10
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Valley Morning 10, 8×8 Acrylic on Clayboard
The chilly morning with sunlight burning through the fog inspires me to paint! It is warm and cozy in the studio but I will have to venture out in the freeze to get the day’s list of chores taken care of.
This painting was stolen off the doorstep of its new owner when delivered. If you see it online or in person anywhere, please notify me or the local Police. Thank you.
Slot Canyon set
$50 © Pam Van Londen 2010, Slot Canyon 1, 8×10 oil on canvas panel
$50 © Pam Van Londen 2010, Slot Canyon 2, 9×12 oil on canvas panel
$50 © Pam Van Londen 2010, Slot Canyon 3, 8×10 oil on canvas panel
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.
Corvallis Trees
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Park Trees 5, 8×8 oil on claybord
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Park Trees 6, 8×8 oil on claybord
Trees, trees, beautiful trees! Every corner of Corvallis is filled with interesting trees and I want to paint them all.
Another Murder of Crows
$50 © Pam Van Londen 2010, Crow Upcycled 2, 8×8 oil on claybord
I had some half-paintings sitting around so I finished them by adding crow silhouettes. These are made with oil paint and oil stick. Each comes framed in black.
I’m getting ready for my winter sale so must clean out unnecessary clutter from the studio. I have a stack of paintings I just can’t look at anymore, they will get a similar treatment.
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Crow Upcycled 3, 8×8 oil on claybord
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Crow Upcycled 4, 8×8 oil on claybord

Fall is here
$50 © Pam Van Londen 2010, Fall Maple Leaves 1, oil on 8×8-inch archival Claybord panel. Unframed.
It has cooled down here and is raining again so I could buckle down and paint!
Very few leaves have turned bright colors yet but that time is not far off. I can smell it in the air.
If you have a Fall scene you need painted for home, office, or a gift, please contact me with the details. I have time to help you out!

More trees in swirls
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Park Trees, 8×8 oil on claybord
I like swirls; you like swirls; so I painted more swirls.
I live in Orange country so had to use a saturated an orange hue as I could, along with my favorite color blue-green.
If you’re an artist I highly recommend participating in the weekly challenge at Daily Paintworks.
Silver Creek Falls
$50 © Pam Van Londen 2010, Silver Creek Falls Middle North Falls, 5.5×8.5 watercolor
We spent a few days hiking the 10 waterfalls at Silver Creek Falls State Park. Even though it rained most of the time, we were able to hike them all.
Holding an umbrella for miles is like using a cane; a little extra work but worth it.
Because it wasn’t hot and crowded, we were able to hike pretty quickly.

A commission and one for fun
Last week I was commissioned to paint a previous plein air daily painting onto a larger panel. We settled 40×30 inches:
Then I could not stop…I had to paint it again, only 48×48. Which one will they choose?
Columbia River Traditions
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Columbia Gorge Horsetail Falls, 8×8 oil on claybord
$64 © Pam Van Londen 2010, Columbia Gorge Oneonta Logjam 2, 8×8 oil on claybord
Our family tradition is to hike to a waterfall, ford the Oneonta slot canyon, and sit in the mud at Rooster Rock on the Columbia Gorge.
This year we hiked to Ponytail and Horsetail falls again, climbed over the logjam (the kids did, while I painted), and wade in the mighty river (the kids did, while I painted).
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Columbia Gorge Rooster Rock Flowers, 8×8 oil on claybord
My granddaughter saw her first waterfalls, hiked in her new boots, and her favorite…got up to her waist in the river and muddied-up her toes.
This photo expresses her joy!
Monthly Challenge Painting
Portland Rose Festival Float
$50 © Pam Van Londen 2010, Portland Rose Festival Float, Oil on 8×8-inch archival Claybord panel, unframed.
Years ago I photographed some water floats waiting for a Portland Rose Festival race. I’m finally getting around to working on some paintings from the references.

Join in and show us your ideas!
Canyon Dreams #20
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Canyon Dreams 20, 8×8 oil on clayboard
I started this painting before last weekend’s Art Walk, worked on it while I had an audience milling around, then finished it today.
The layered colors are mostly transparent, so there is an etherial feel to the image.
This item is featured in an Etsy Treasury.
Columbia Gorge Beacon Rock
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Columbia Gorge Beacon Rock 1, 8×8 oil on clayboard
I’ll be showing my Columbia River daily paintings at one of three locations in Feb. Stay tuned for an update.
This image was painted from a photo taken at the Women’s Forum Park on the Columbia River, Oregon side. It is a mighty river!
Columbia Gorge Slough
SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2009, Columbia Gorge Slough, 8x8x1 on oil on clayboard
I’m working with the Funny brush again today. I like the layered chaotic brush strokes it makes.
If you know the name of this slough, please write me a comment. I’ve lost track of where I was when I took the reference photo.
