New craft mirrors

I'm getting ready for a fall crafts fair by painting mirrors in an impressionist style, mainly Monet and Van Gogh. Here are a few samples.

Seattle Summer

Here is a 6x8 from Seattle's Arboretum, a land of trees, lilies, and ducks.

Green Lake Dock

This is an 8x10 redo of a larger painting. It's a man sitting on a dock at Green Lake, in silent contemplation. I've always liked this image and keep working on it to get it right.

Green Lake Shadows

A 9x12 painting of one of my favorite places - Seattle's Green Lake. It's finally summer and we've had a few decent weather days. Can't wait to get outside and paint now.

New Green Lake paintings

Just completed two works from my favorite place, Green Lake in Seattle, two blocks from my home. I had a done a large version of this scene, since sold, and wanted to revisit it in smaller versions, loosening up the style. These are 9x12, and 6x8 and are titled Green Lake Summer. Of course we haven't had much of that weather yet but still hoping as we finally get to summer on the calendar. The smaller work, below, is the looser style I've been working toward lately.

Oregon Landscape

This is an 8x10 landscape from a trip to Oregon. It's on the road to Lincoln City from Salem. Still looking at a way to vary the colors more but maybe this scene isn't a good candidate as it's mainly green trees in summer shade.

More Maui

Here are two more Maui scenes. Top, smaller one, is Iao Valley, 6x8. Larger, 8x10, is another view of Kamaole Beach looking south. Getting a little more color variety which has been my goal in latest work.
