A New Direction
September 30, 2010
Warm Springs River Canyon in north central Oregon provided a very dramatic cliff and rock formation in late afternoon light. I am at the beginning of a one month plein air painting trip that will encompass many Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana wildernss areas. This piece was done 5 days ago at Kah Nee Tah, on the Warm Springs Indian Resercation.\n

\n \n Warm Springs Creek\n \n\nMy plan is to re-connect with subject matter involving water, rocks, motion and colors, in transient light, as studies to begin a new series of paintings involving those elements.\n
\n
\nGrowing-up in Idaho around creeks, rivers and lakes, plus living on the water in the San Juan Islands of Washington State, since 1974, has affected how I interpret and present my subject matter a great deal.\n
