"Twilight"

30 x 40"

oil on canvas

Twilight falls over Puget Sound casting its magical glow and the sound of silence. I do love this time of day.

“Twilight” is the largest of the paintings I delivered to an exhibition today. I usually paint much larger than the work shown on this site and just wanted to share this one with you today. The colors are much brighter than they appear here. There are rich shades of gold, peach, rose, lavender and many greens.

"Cherry Blossoms"

8 x 6"

oil on wooden panel

I stopped by the Japanese Garden in Washington Park on my way home from town several days ago. A light rain was falling, softening the color of everything. The cherry blossoms glowed as if they were little lanterns hanging in the trees. I walked up to have a closer look. The longer I watched the little flowers in the afternoon rain, the more I wanted to paint them. I love this time of year.
