Long Way Home | Original Oil Painting on Canvas

$350.00

Dad and I took turns driving, he in one rig, me in the other, winding our way through the mountains of Northern California. Our maps promised a straight shot to the next camping spot, but instead it led us onto a narrow dirt road, climbing steeply over a mountain pass. He kept calling out from the other vehicle, voicing every complaint and curse, while we all gripped the wheel a little too tightly. And yet, by the time we were parked, settled, and passing a beer around the fire, the tension melted, giving way to fits of laughter that echoed across the trees, the kind of laughter only earned the hard way.

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”.
