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.
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.

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

It was a glorious day in the park this morning. The farmer’s market has grown and so have the crowds.
I tried some Tayberries, which are like long, large raspberries. Their taste was like another flavor I’ve experienced but could not remember what. I’ll have to try them again next weekend.

Last year I began working on a series of paintings done mostly from memory of driving through the Southwest and Eastern Oregon. The desert and high-desert grasses, dirt colors, and rock formations are fascinating and compel me to paint them.
In my usual loose style using transparent oil paint on an alizerin crimson underpainting make up this triptych.
In addition, these each use a bit of sgraffito to add texture and small details.

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.
