Inside Passage III | Original Oil Painting on Cradled Board
16 x 20
The scene that is my muse; Inside Passage. This one influenced by a moodiness achieved only with deep blues and a cloud cover that shines that smoky haze through it. Our new reality in the Pacific Northwest is that we have a new late summer season that comes with heatwaves and wildfire smoke. Our windows are closed and our houses are stuffy. And yet, it’s still beautiful outside. The substantiality that our world can be both right now. Concerning and beautiful. Smokey and invigorating. Heartbreaking and encouraging. It’s both/and in this new world.
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”.
