Helliwell, Summer Walks



Helliwell Summer Walks, 12" x 12", acrylic on canvas

Finally after 6 or 7 months i am back at the easel, well apart for one abstract painting it has been a LONG time of not painting, and so not to freak myself out, i chose  tried and true subject matter as a way to EASE back into it. 
The weather has been fabulous here in Portland, sunny and dry all week..I dont know whats happening but i like it!

Light my Day and Filberg Lodge


Light My Day, 40" x 40", oil on canvas
I am rather pleased with this painting, abstract but evoking the tide.  Here is a picture of the Filberg Lodge where
I am guest artist this summer at the festival.  I had a tour of it on my trip to BC., Truly a beautiful building and location, right on the water, and I look forward to hanging work in it.  I get the WHOLE downstairs! (no pressure)

Helliwell Tree

Helliwell Tree, 6" x 6", oil on panel
My attempt in the painting was to capture the crisp clear clean light and colour on Helliwell at certain times.  Its good for the spirit and i suspect a reason why so many people are so "hooked on Helliwell"
