When not in the mountains, I love to set up my easel wherever I am to draw and paint the wide diversity and beauty of the Northwest. Here is a selection of landscape and seascape watercolor paintings.

Clear Lake Sunset
Prints available In September 2011, one of my Iowa high school classmates commissioned me to do this painting. It is a sunset scene of Clear Lake, Iowa, near our hometown. In September 2011 many of us gathered in Iowa to celebrate our 50th high school class reunion. This painting was part of an art show at our reunion. My classmates and I share wonderful memories of our youthful summers on the Lake, swimming, boating and waterskiing (and of course, a little partying. After all, it was the time when The Beach Boys were very popular!) |

Landscapes
If the artist is lucky, they will have excellent weather whilst painting en plein aire (outside). Sometimes this in not the case. More than once, my easel and paints were blown away in high winds and rain, and I retreated to paint in my car.
Autumn Bounty
36 x 20, original watercolor, $1,000
I did most of this painting on a gorgeous fall day at an organic farm near Lake Oswego, OR. I was painting with Susan Spears’ group of artists called “Eye on the Sky”. There were no pumpkins in the actual scene, so I had fun adding them. It was a real challenge to paint the stems on the pumpkins, as I had nothing to go on except my vague memory of what they look like. I was honored that this painting was juried into the 2011 Watercolor Society of Oregon Fall Show in Sunriver, OR.
