The original version of this painting was a ‘palette cleaner’…I used the paint left over from a previous painting. I’ve added more color now and like it so much better!

The colors are quite different from my regular palette. Some of you out there like earthier colors.

The original version of this painting was highlighted in the Gazette-Times article about the First Thursday Art Walk for Nov 4, 2010.

My granddaughter and I sat under a willow tree one hot day to paint. Then her little friend came by to paint as well. It was lovely and inspiring to paint with such young artists.

The iridescent colors are fun to share with others and add a bit of fantasy to the work. This one sparkles as you move across the viewing plane.

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

My first Willamette River painting was not so popular…the colors were subtle and perhaps dull. I’ve brightened them up and added some splash!

This brighter palette is how the river looks today on this very hot and sunny summer day.

Coastal Drama Cannon Beach

Coastal Drama Cannon Beach SOLD Coastal Drama Cannon Beach. © Pam Van Londen 2013. Oil on 8×8-inch Claybord panel. Unframed.

This new painting is a remake of an older painting, which I could not stand to look at anymore. This version has more drama and is much more fun to look at. The sand from the original plein air painting session is still visible, adding an interesting texture.

Coastal Drama 3

Purchase with PayPal. $60. Coastal Drama 3. © Pam Van Londen 2013. Oil on 8×8-inch Claybord.

A few years ago I did some plein air painting at Cannon Beach. Most of those panels sold. One did not, so I’ve revised it…and I like it so much better.

Here is the revision. The paint ought to be dry during the second week of May 2013.

One more in a long series of canyon vistas.

Valley Storm 7

Oregon’s Willamette Valley provides spectacular skies full of clouds that cast rich shadows on the valley floor.

Turner, Oregon

© Pam Van Londen 2010, Turner 4, Oil on Clayboard, 8x8 SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2012, Turner 4, 8×8 Oil on Clayboard

The view from the farm in Turner is always spectacular! I’ve painted this composition before but I like this version better.

Frazier Wetland

© Pam Van Londen 2010, Frazier Wetland 2, Oil on Clayboard, 8x8  SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Frazier Wetland 2, 8×8 Oil on Clayboard

Last weekend my daughter and I were enjoying the wetlands to paint and do homework. It was peaceful, but hard to paint due to having 2 dogs who want to greet all the passing dogs.

It was a very green day but of course, I like to find the hidden colors to paint.

I enjoyed painting downtown on the waterfront today. Everyone was in a jolly mood while they biked/walked by with their dogs and kids.

Since it was warm outside, I worked in oils. These two should be dry in a week or so.

Snow paintings.

The snow day afforded me the opportunity to lay low and work at the easel today. I enjoyed working with iridescent acrylics on the Ampersand Claybord panels.

Valley Morning 11

© Pam Van Londen 2010, Valley Morning 11, Acrylic on Clayboard, 8x8 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

© Pam Van Londen 2010, Valley Morning 10, Acrylic on Clayboard, 8x8 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.

Willamette River commission

© Pam Van Londen 2010, Willamette River 28, acrylic on gallery-edged canvas, 12x12 SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Willamette River 28, 12×12 acrylic on gallery-edged canvas

This painting was commissioned for a couple that floated the Willamette River years ago.

The technique here uses an alizarin crimson underpainting to keep the palette bright. Once dry, I layered thick and thin swirling and flat layers to build depth.

I’ve painted the edges of the canvas so the image wraps around it, allowing more view from the sides and top and bottom.

Canyon Dreams 31

© Pam Van Londen 2010, Canyon Dreams 31, oil on claybord, 8x8  SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Canyon Dreams 31, 8×8 oil on claybord

This painting is very abstracted and was painted without a reference…I just like to feel the brush strokes and don’t think too much about where they go.

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 Canyon Dreams

I love the colors and shapes of canyons, so continue the Canyon Dreams series with two moer!

Corvallis Trees

© Pam Van Londen 2010, Park Trees 6, oil on claybord, 8x8 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.

Storm Clouds in Crescent Valley

© Pam Van Londen 2010, Valley Storm 5, oil on claybord, 8x8 SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Valley Storm 5, 8×8 oil on claybord

Once the rain stopped, the sky at Thursday night’s CHS/CVHS varsity girls soccer game was spectacular and inspired these paintings.

Park Trees 4

© Pam Van Londen 2010, Park Trees 4, oil on claybord, 8x8 SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Park Trees 4, 8×8 oil on claybord

The OSU campus has many interesting trees to paint from. Everyone morning when I walk to the office, I see all manner of shapes, sizes, and colors to study.

You might notice I am building a series of oil paintings that use swirling brush strokes and very bright colors. This is my favorite style to paint.

Two of these works are at the Mod Pod in downtown Corvallis. If you like what you see, we can meet to view the rest of them in person.
