It was class outdoors again last evening. We painted at the Crystal Lake Boat Landing in Corvallis. Due to the heat of the day, many folks were boating, rafting, mud-soaking, and biking. The atmosphere was jubilant.

My favorite scene was the harmonica player conoeing with two dogs. He floated down river then appeared again later; he must have done the whole trip again! The lighting and the music seemed to transport me back 200 years and I expected Tom Sawyer to come strolling by.

The transparent oil technique that I’ve been using the last couple of weeks took a new turn this morning with this painting on Gessobord (instead of my usual Claybord.

The topmost oilier layers push the bottommost layers to the side, creating thin dark edges. I like this style and will try it again next painting session.

If you have a blank conference room wall at least 10 feet wide that needs imagery to excite creativity, consider a mural; but a mural you can take with you later.

This 6-panel on canvas of the Santiam River outside Sweet Home, Oregon, is bright and boldly painted. When hung tight together it acts as a mural. When hung separately, possibly framed, it can fill and entire conference room with space between each.

I painted this with acrylic paint this week and expect to finish it up this soon and hang it at Bomb’s Away Cafe in February.

If you’d like to see it in person before then, please call me at 541-760-1449.
