Corvallis Artist, Oregon Artist. Creating Every Day…paintings, web sites, and courses Oregon daily painter, murals and portraits. Corvallis Web Designer / Web Developer. Original abstract landscape oil paintings
This large abstract landscape painting of Oregon and Washington’s famed Columbia Gorge includes a view of Beacon Rock as seen from Roster Rock State Park. It is based on a plein air oil painting completed in 2007.
The technique uses a red-orange underpainting with loose brushstrokes on top. In some areas, iridescent pearl paint is added to remind viewers of the shiny reflections on the water and just-rained-on foliage, sand, and rocks and the glare of the sun as you drive past this unique vista.
The large 4-foot square format is suitable for hanging on a tall and wide wall where the viewing distance is 10 feet or more. Consider it for your dining room, entry hallway, or office foyer.
The surface is acrylic paint that wraps around the edges. The sturdy support is ready to hang with wire and two hooks. The price is $800 and includes shipping to anywhere inside of Oregon. Shipping to other states or countries is at the buyer’s discretion. Contact me to rent this painting for $100 per month.

Learn to paint with buttery oils on a fresco-like surface
…using a limited palette and minimal brush strokes. In this 4-hour workshop, you’ll create three paintings on 8×8-inch Claybord panels using primary and secondary colors plus white. The first of your three images will emerge as you explore the brushes, paint, thinner, and technique. The second will emerge as you meditate on the currents of water. And the third will emerge from the location’s landscape, bowl of fruit, or both!
Fine artist Pam Van Londen began painting in oil on American-made Ampersand Claybord panels when the Daily Painter movement caught on in 2006. Most daily painters use a standard small rectangle or square panel, paper, or stretched canvas with a consistent set of materials and techniques.
Van Londen’s technique is to apply an underpainting and while still wet, add colors in the order of the color wheel with the goal of using as few brush strokes as possible. Transparent layers of color on the clay surface result in a watercolor effect. Sgraffito is used near the end to create a contrast in line and to sign the finished work.
About the artist
Van Londen shows her work locally, regionally, and takes online sales at Etsy, Daily Paintworks, and Fine Art America. She has a degree in Art and Design and teaches technology courses at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon.

I painted on the beach today and it was refreshing! Here are 8×8 daily paintings from Lincoln Beach. Number 3 was painted plein air and the others were painted at my campsite.
Heart of the Valley Children’s Choir will be celebrating their 30-year anniversary with a Choir Festival. I’ve prepared their anniversary logo and theme for the June event.
I worked on nine more paintings today…revising images I either did not like, or that have been smudged during transport. Here is one I have revised twice now. I like it best today!
These 8×8-inch paintings are between $50 and $60 unframed. Email me for exact pricing and shipping.
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.
I am painting new and repainting some old works to prepare for the Corvallis Fall Festival, slated for Sept 28 and 29, 2013. I’ll be in booth 169 in the smaller circle. Please drop by and say hello. I will have framed and unframed daily paintings as well as some larger works.
I waited out the rain to get painting, only to get wet anyway! The painting may have a bit of rain on it, too. Clackamette park is a favorite spot in the city to hang out along the shore to fish, wander, paint, etc.
My Food on the Table series of paintings have been invited into Lake Oswego’s 50th annual Festival of the Arts, scheduled for June 21, 22 & 23, 2013 at the Lakewood Center for the Arts, George Rogers Park and Marylhurst University, Oregon.
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.
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.
The Oregon Coast has several areas where birds thrive on sand dunes (until we disturb them with our toys). Walking up to the top of the dunes lets you see far up and down the scenic coastline.
This coming summer I must travel to high desert country again….I just love the flora. This painting from Greg Sarris’ garden outside Sonoma, CA was painted on a road trip back in 2011.
Please drop by the Footwise window downtown in Corvallis to see my work during the month of January. I am showing large and medium landscapes in oil and acrylic and 8×8 framed oils on Claybord panels. Most scenes are of Oregon and our lovely Willamette Valley.
You’ll see 50 paintings; my largest exhibit to date (besides Fall Festival).
