After the Rain | Original Oil Painting on Canvas
8 × 10
The drive was long—long in the way only a car full of kids can make it—punctuated by bathroom breaks, snack crises, and the occasional bout of carsickness. Most stops were forgettable, pulled-over blips on a map, but tucked between them were small, unexpected treasures: a mountainscape we would’ve flown past, a meadow that softened everyone’s edges, a moment that asked us—all of us—to take one deep breath before piling back in. The destination was wonderful, of course, but it was the in-between that stayed with me.
Oil paintings are created with an underpainting and finished with an Alla Prima technique. Oil paintings are created with artist grade paints, canvas, solvents and oils. All edges are also hand-painted with a continuation of the artistic subject, rather than masked edges, resulting in a beautiful raised look that will look professional both framed or unframed. Dry times for oil paintings last 1 year or more and have been completed.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, one might say I’ve become fixated on the landscape surrounding me. Rainy beaches, soft waves that are protected by distant shorelines, sun-laden coves of trees and an endless sky of clouds - it’s all a boundless muse. This current collection of works were painted over the course of several months, during a storm season that defines a new normal, affected by climate change. I used brushstrokes, lines, shapes and color embody emotion within the vastness of these landscapes. I am calling this series “Devotion”.
