Working out design ideas for my next mural project for the new hospital here in Friday Harbor. I'll be posting mural panels as they are completed this summer. Here is a scale model of the project, 63 inches which will translate into 63 feet for the finished mural.Lots of painting in my future.....
Got out on a late spring morning and painted with my friend Dana Nunnelly out at False Bay. There's a great view across to the Olympic Mountains. The weather sits on the straights and the snow capped mountains peak over the top. Low tide at False bay, 7" x 11" Plein air oil.
2 big painted panels just went up at Roche Harbor on San Juan Island. Based on historic photos, Here is my interpretation of what the busy harbor might have looked like over 100 years ago.
This panel was painted in acrylic with light fast pigments and clear coated, size 5 x 10' Mounted outdoors near the Roche Harbor store.
Artist Statement
I like all areas of art, doing everything from portraits, figurative work, collage, monoprints, pastels, plein air painting, and Abstracts! It is great when things cross over from the abstract universe to the real world, a wonderful synthesis. Above all I am colorist and I believe in strong drawing skills at the basis of all my work.
