This tiny painting is intended to be reminiscent of Renaissance architectural perspective paintings. The may seem insane. |

Green DarnerWatercolor 5-4-2004 12"x11.5" |
|
| These are the type of woods I grew up in back east. All big leaves coloring the light like stained glass. | ||

| Driving is a bad time to paint. Sometimes you see the best stuff while doing it though. This was a scene I saw driving along Beaver Valley Rd one evening. As soon as I got home I put it down on paper. | ||

Last RaysWatercolor 2-9-2004 5"x7" |
|
| This was mainly an experiment into the use of analogous colors in sky and earth. It turned out to be a sweet little painting. | ||

Cloud QuiltWatercolor 11-18-2003 11"x11" |

Paper Plant 2Watercolor 2-23-2003 15"x11.25" |
|
| Keep pumping that smoke to heaven paper plant. We need bags, money, progress, and a delusion that we're better than animals. | ||

Paper PlantWatercolor 12-19-2002 15"x11" |
|
| Thick, pillowy steam and smoke bellow from this factory. When it's upwind from you the sour stink is unforgettable. It dominates the Port Townsend bay area skyline. | ||

TreesWatercolor 2-23-2003 7"x5" |
|
| How do you see a forest and the trees? Can a painter answer that? | ||

Moss WoodsWatercolor 12-29-2002 7.5"x11" |

| The view from my window was a lot like this. Sun dappled moss and decay - decomposition composition. | ||

WaterfallWatercolor 12-9-2002 11"x7.5" |
|
| Located in Silver Falls State Park, OR, this is the Lower South Falls. I was struck by how green and soft everything was. The brilliant water was the only hard edge. | ||
|

|
Deep WoodsWatercolor 12-4-2002 15"x22" |
|
| I took the other half of House in The Woods and let the woods create the entire painting. The light coming through the trees and the rhythm of forms make this interesting. | ||

Spooky House in the WoodsWatercolor 16"x12" 11-23-2002 |
|
| Here I wanted to increase the contrasts between the house , the woods and the foreground from my original painting. I was less concerned with accuracy and consequently the shapes are more geometrical. | ||
|

House in the CloudsWatercolor 11-4-2002 7.5"x5.5" |
|
| Just East of Pendleton, OR, on I-84, this house shares a view point with travelers. The clouds over the vista were wispy spirals, like cotton. The contrast of the golden grasses with the cobalt sky was striking. | ||
