Day 2

Wakeena Falls Nocturne, 9" x 12" oil on canvas

For day 2 I'm posting a painting actually completed a few days ago that will be part of the Muse Art 4' x 4' window display.  That will go on display on Monday, January 5 for the month, then individual pieces will be mounted and available for sale.  I have not visited any of the falls at night, it would be a slippery, treacherous path, so this view is imagined.

Smith Rock

These are two small studies of Smith Rock, from a photo by Carrie Ward.  I'll use them as reference to paint a 16" x 20" canvas tomorrow, April 19 at Muse Art + Design as part of "an artist a day".  Every day during April, an artist works in front of their store window and the finished paintings are auctioned to benefit School House Supplies.  For more information, see anartistaday.com.  Or come by after noon to watch me paint!

There will be a paint out at Smith Rock in Terrebonne, Central Oregon, in June.  I plan to be there with my easel and hiking shoes!
