No. 855 Perfect Primroses


Perfect Primroses
Oil on Canvas Panel
5" x 7"

 
It's always so wonderful to see those first primroses show up in the stores. These three are from a flat of 12 that I got at Costco for only $11! I might have to head back and see if I can snag another flat...

No. 853 Neighborhood Wetlands


Neighborhood Wetlands
Oil on Canvas Panel
5" x 7"

I discovered this place close to my home on a bike ride the other day. I was totally surprised and had no idea there was public access to this little gem of a wetland. I hope it survives the nonstop development in this area.

No. 852 Winter Sunset on Baker

A sunset off of Lowell-Larimer road during our very short but glorious break in the weather. Loved the rain puddles in between the furrows in the field reflecting the sky.

No. 851 Mt. Baker from Penn Cove


Mt. Baker From Penn Cove
Oil on Canvas Panel
5" x 7"

While I continue to paint outside everyday, I've not been so good about posting. Few of the paintings are finished outside because it's just too cold and wet but this past Sunday was a different story. It was a flat out gorgeous day and a perfect one to visit Coupeville on Whidbey Island.

Morning ferry ride.

Looking back from the ferry to my home town of Everett.

Calm waters at the wharf in Coupeville. Gosh I love that little town.

View from the ferry trip home.

I adore solar lanterns. If I had my way my backyard would be full of them :) This is most of my collection peacefully hibernating until sunnier days.

No. 849 Harvery Airfield & No.850 Heck of a Hellebore #2


Harvey Field
Oil on Canvas Panel
5" x 7"

Diana and I were excited to get permission to paint at the Harvey Field airport in Snohomish. Not only is it filled with all kinds of interesting things to paint but the hangers provide great shelter from the wind and rain.




Heck of a Hellebore #2
Oil on Gessobord

Taking another crack at this lovely hellebore in my backyard.
