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.
