Valley Views- Columbia River East

Oil on Canvas
$300
This work was made standing on a public dock, looking East. The dock is near Pybus Public Market in Wenatchee Washington. This plein-air work was finished on an early afternoon on a beautiful September day. The work listed above was painted the day before, on a sunny, calm day. This work was painted as the wind began to pick up throughout the afternoon, the water was much more active, inspiring brightly lt and shimmering areas. The pipeline bridge is in the distance, bringing water to orchards against the hills. The mighty Columbia River strikes a powerful presence against the golden, barren hills.
Valley Views- Porters Pond
11 x 14
Oil on linen
$200
Porters Pond is a magnificent natural swimming hole, complete with a rope swing, located off the Loop Trail in East Wenatchee. In late summer, the place is sun soaked with gorgeous purple wild flowers. It almost seems unreal, certainly a place that you must see to believe. The oxbow river view focuses on the current, gently pushing herself through, and flowing outwards to the shore line and filling in the swimming hole. The moon rises quietly over the orchard-laced hills as the sun sets behind us.

September Sunsets burst with color looking West from Porters Pond in East Wenatchee, along the Columbia River. The late summer wildflowers seem unreal the purples, yellows and green loudly applauding the yellows, oranges, purples of the early evening sunset.
Boat Launch East
8 x 20in
Oil on Aluminum

This small work was begun on site. The view is from along the shore just above the public boat launch, near Pybus Market in Wenatchee, WA. The work was finished in a Monet style- keeping the brushstrokes short and active while layering on the color. It was a beautiful warm September day, the kind that brings a calm smile. This painting describes that smile.
