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 favorite summer past-time is sitting next to a river to paint. While waiting for a kid practicing soccer at the field next to the river, it is easy for me to get set up and just do it!

I’ve painted at this spot many times and never tire of its beauty. The colors reflecting in the water are bright and inviting.

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.

© 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.

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.

SOLD © Pam Van Londen 2010, Mary’s Peak 1.2, 24×36 Acrylic on canvas

In honor of Fall Festival, I’ve revised a larger painting that has been hiding in various places for 4 years. I’ve added more vibrant colors, including iridescent ivory, cream, and copper. The composition is almost the same.

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.

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.

I’m glad pears last a long time when sitting on the counter. I will keep painting this pair of pears until they are ready to eat.

Pear 1

© Pam Van Londen 2010, Pear 1, Acrylic on Clayboard, 8x8 Chef’s Jubilee Auction © Pam Van Londen 2010, Pear 1, 8×8 Acrylic on Clayboard

One of my friends/clients/art patrons has been looking at pear paintings, which motivated me to finally paint one. I have not painted a pear since I was in collage oh so many years ago.

This one is painted very loosely in acrylic on Claybord. I like painting as messily as possible….so much fun!

Tomorrow’s pear is red. Stay tuned.

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

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.
