Oil Painting - "View From South Deck"

8" x 10" Oil on canvas.  Available here.

This was painted a few weeks ago on a wonderfully misty day.  The big tree in the foreground is very old and weathered.  I have wanted to paint it for a long time now.  Lately we have been having very sunny days but high winds making painting outside impossible.  The winds finally died down today.  

Thanks for following my blog.

9" x 9" Oil on panel.  SOLD  

    This young visitor from California caught a salmon and was washing it off in a tidal pool by our cabins.   He eventually cleaned it so he, his brother and parents could enjoy it for dinner.

8" x 10" Oil on panel.    Hello my friends!  I have been silent for a long time now.  I never thought I would go this long without posting.   I'm finding time to paint again and I'm ready to share.   This painting of a guest fishing off the shore of Orca Island holds a pleasant memory of the lovely warm summer we had this year.  We experienced warm sunny days and crystal clear water sparkling in the sunlight.  It was a summer to remember.

8"x 10" Oil on panel.   SOLD.      After I check guests into our cabins I am free for the rest of the afternoon to work on various other things that need to get done.... or I paint!  I have completed a few paintings that I plan to share.  This one is of a small portion of the view out to Fox Island.  The small island in front of Fox Island is Hat Island.  It has been clear and breezy and so beautiful.

8" x 10" Oil on panel, available.   This painting was done about 3 weeks ago.  It is the most recent painting I have been able to complete.  Just very busy getting the new gallery ready and getting the cabins ready to open.  Guests have been enjoying the gallery on the island.  I'm looking forward to painting out doors starting this week.  Below is a photo of the island gallery.
