    Outside In The Gorge

    Outside In The Gorge

    Out in the east end of the Columbia Gorge at the Pacific Northwest Plein Air event 2016. It gets hot out there for this event, really HOT. And I also had half a dozen yellow jackets swarming around me the whole time I was painting this one so I was painting really fast! My friends Celeste and Dave who took this photo were laughing at me the whole time watching me throw paint down and smacking yellow jackets with my brush at the same time. I think it just made hornets more mad though, LOL! Can't believe I didn't get stung that day.

    Using earth tones out in the field. Many of my paintings use non traditional tools. Here I am using a towel to lay in my base painting for this 24x24 plein air.

    Why We Paint

    Why We Paint

    This is why you will find us chasing light, always trying to capture the beauty around us. One of my favorite areas to paint plein air, Willamette wine country summer evening with good friends : )

    Studio Time

    Studio Time

    We can't always be outside painting! Here I am working in my studio; it's in an old warehouse in downtown Portland. Great place to work during those rainy winter months.
