Bringing the Pacific Northwest Home
This small painting (7″x5″) was done from a photo we took while camping at a site here in the state of Washington this last summer.
Although not technically a true watercolor, I thought I’d share it here, because the oil paints used were water based. Close enough.
Tried some new techniques on this one, as well as venturing into new subject matter. Click on the link “Gallery of Paintings” to see more work.
Not too far from the house is a small tourist attraction called Madison Falls. It’s one of the many tributaries that fill the might Elwha River, which flows in to the Sound.
This was a watercolor exercise in which I was attempting to loosen my style, perhaps gaining a bit more fluidity in the medium. Not too shabby for a quick study.
