#359 Badger Valley, ONP

These are both ink pencil/ sumi ink on masa.  I carefully painted the bottom one, and then decided to try something more spontaneous, which is the top image.

#358 Pysht River in Winter

Ink pencil and sumi on masa, 10" x 12".

#357 California Hill at Dusk

Acrylic...6" x 6".

#356 Salt Creek '13

Sumi on masa, about 14 " x 9".

#355 Black & White Visions

This started out as a sumi ink painting on masa paper.  Then I glazed it with acrylic medium and added some acrylic paint.  I like the way the ink works on the masa paper, and with Inktense pencils, it looks a bit like an etching.   There may be a few more black and white images coming up...

#354 Oregon Coast '13

From a photo I took of the Oregon Coast a few years ago.  Acrylic on paper, 9" x 12".

#353 Ramsey

This is another GoogleMap painting I did for the Virtual Paintout blog.  January's location is the Isle of Man, and this is a street scene in Ramsey.  Acrylic, 10" x 9.5", on paper.

#352 Koiz

Koi in a pond on Maui.  OIl on 6" x 6" board.

#351 Lavender and Bay

If lavender were to grow near the bay...   Oil, 6" x 6".

#350 Late Hike

From a trail on Hurricane Ridge on a day 4 years ago!  Oil, 6" x 6".

#349 Bluff Slope

This was derived from a bigger plein air painting I did in central Washington.  It's done with a painting knife in oil, 6" x 6".

#348 The Picnic

Not quite done yet, but it's getting there.  Acrylic, 12"x 16".

Door Ideas

This is not exactly art- more like home decorating... I've been considering painting some interior doors and it seems like masking and rolling interior paint would work better than using a brush.  If a person used flat doors, in a certain size, a person could possibly design it on the computer and then paint from the design.  So here are a couple of double and single door ideas:

#347 Olives, Anyone?

I'm going to be showing some acrylic still lifes at the Northwind Artists Showcase in Port Townsend, and decided to make something larger than 6" x 6, to go with the smaller works.  This is 16" x 12".

#346 Steep

Oil, 5" x 5".

#345 Doodling

Had it been a real person, it could have been a digital portrait. 

#344 Shell and Sand

This is pure digital!

#343 Pansy

I didn't have much time to paint, but I did have a pansy.  Oil on board, 6" x 6".

#342 Red Flowers/ Green Vase

I think it is more difficult to do a still life than a landscape with a painting knife.  Maybe I just need more practice!  Oil, 5" x 5".
