In anticipation of the coming winter, I’ve painted three stormy images.
My many drives up and down Hwy 99W are always inspiring no matter what the weather.

I used a gray underpainting instead of alizarin crimson this time. I miss the red.

After another evening of peaceful painting out of doors, I have this panel to show. Painting sheep so small was not as easy as I expected, so I’ll be practicing more.

Oregonians are so lucky to have such beautiful country so close at hand. Just a minute’s drive and we are out into the fresh air and rural settings.
