24 × 30

There’s a lull in this piece, a quiet pause where the colors settle into something pleasant and easy on the eyes. The hues blend with a kind of tenderness, a softness that drapes itself over the harder edges life tends to leave behind. It doesn’t erase anything, but it tempers it—painting over the difficult stuff with warmth and calm until it feels manageable, almost gentle, for just a moment.

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”.
