Pacific Northwest Plein Air

Here are the paintings that I will be showing at the Pacific Northwest Plein Air Show at Columbia Art Gallery in Hood River, Oregon.  

As you can see I was taken with the golden grasses of late summer and the tall pine trees that dominate all landscapes of our area.  I love the combination of late summer golds and the dark greens of pine trees.  Before and during the plain air event, I spend several days at Mayer State park painting.  The Rowena, or dry side is my favorite location for painting.  The windsurfer is able to find plenty of sailing, or paddling as I paint and so we both enjoy this spot
