landscape paintings.

oregon landscape painting, original watercolor art, office decor

All watercolors are on arches 140lb paper (some hotpress, some cold) and oils are unframed, on gallery-wrapped canvas.

All are painted from memory and photo reference I took, OR on site, en plein aire. When I travel, which is often, I go by car. This gives me a lot of time for landscape painting, photography, and just stopping to look around. I tend to look for places with a big vista. I grew up on the east coast and the sky out here west still seems so massive to me, crowding down against the ground in every direction. I’m a little bit obsessed with the sky out here,

Usually I include the road in my landscapes. This is because I love the road, and to me it’s the central reason, the thing I want to speak to and about, in any landscape. Whether it’s a dirt logging road, or a major highway, it’s a vein connecting all my experiences in the world.

Some are available as prints, here. Some are available as originals, if you click the images.
