Sunset Olympic National Park

I loved my previous painting so much, I decided to do another painting based on ONP in WA. It continues my theme of first painting in black and white (grissaille) followed by numerous thin transparent glazes in color. Prints of this painting are available through Fine Art America. com and the original will be put up for auction on Ebay.

Olympic National Park, WA

This is my latest painting done in oil, on a 16 x 20 inch stretched canvas. It is based on an area within Olympic National Park, WA. I remember doing a hike in this park where you started in the rain forest, ended up on a beach much like this one, and then looped back into the forest to the trail head. It was probably one of the coolest hikes I have ever done, and I think this painting reflects the beauty in this area....

Mountain Falls

Mountain Falls is an oil painting on a stretched cotton canvas. In this case, the size is 12 x 24 inch, which is an unusual size for me. Like my previous paintings, I used extensive glazing techniques and the grisaille method for this painting. I am really liking this technique and the luminosity effects I am achieving with this style painting.
