Yellow Grass

This was a plein aire painting done in Discovery Park, near the Magnolia District in Seattle, WA. The park is large and part of it spans across a plateau overlooking the ocean. This plateau has beautiful wild flowers and yellow grass, which caught my eye.

Drawings

I try to draw everyday, even if just for a few minutes. Creatively, I want to walk that tight rope between representation and abstraction. I am particularly attracted to artist's work with adventurous use of color or abstraction of shape, such as Bay Area artists Terry St. John and Judy Molyneux's plein aire work.

Lighting Challenge

On a visit to my parents, I went in the back yard and did a little painting of my Mother's flowers. It was a challenge because the sun kept going in and out of the clouds: sunny, cloudy, sunny, cloudy...

The second painting was done in a race against the disappearing light in the woods. Beautiful plumes of pink in amongst the green surroundings.

Lake and Ridge

Phanton Lake in east Bellevue, covered in Lillies.

Ridge, rocks, and trees--there was a beautiful strawberry colored hue through the tall yellow grass--amazing. I've never seen anything like it. So, had to paint it.
