Lakes, Rivers, Streams

and Oceans

My husband and I love to travel and when we get the chance I paint on location, or take lots of photos to use for studio work.
Every part of our country has something worth seeing and painting - I would never run out of subject matter.

The Northwest is just about my favorite area of the country. There's just something about the sea and the rocky cliffs that draws me in and I can't resist portraying it on canvas. When I can get out there I paint "en plein air", but when I can't it's done from photos I have taken. There's something special about the light on the west coast.

There are many towns and communities that hug the cliffs on the northwest coast and the colorful mass of wildflowers in this location made this a special scene.
