Newly Framed Art

I suppose this painting is a bit generic. A common sight of the low lying winter sun viewed at the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. I kept the details at minimum because the contrast between yellow and blue needed to stay sharp - this is to capture the tone of Northwestern afternoons. 

Holy shit, custom framing is expensive. This12x16" canvas was $200 before coupon and a few gift cards.

New Art

On winter mornings, sometimes the sky clears out and the sun touches the wall.  This allows a low and soft glow.  It comes as a surprise often and I love it always.

More scenes from the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge. 

New Arts

These are scenes derived from the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge in Olympia, Wa. I was interested in showcasing the harmonious texture on each of the canvases which I believe was appropriate with the landscape. I had a very productive day because the park struck me in all senses. There are plenty of public space that offer a feast for the imagination, but the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge is quite the exceptional buffet. 

New Art

Went for a walk with the dogs at the 2 mile loop in beautiful Chambers Bay. The low-lying sun was strong against the blank sky but weak through the trees. This is the sun against the forest.

Autumn

"and imagination

  and the dark hug of time,

   sweetness

     and tangibility,

"to be understood,

  to be more than pure light

   that burns

     where no one is --

"so it enters us --

  in the morning

   shines from brute comfort

     like a stitch of lightning;

"and at night

  lights up the deep and wondrous

   drownings of the body

     like a star."

-Mary Oliver
