"Mirrored Clouds" (9 x 12 pastel on sanded paper)
 
 
 
This is a beautiful little lake near as spot dubbed "glass beach" in Port Townsend, WA.  This particular day was chilly and blustery, but is was worth the trek not only for the painting, but for all of the beach glass "loot" we found!  Your eyes are not deceiving you, by the way.  the clouds do have a very subtle pearlescent quality.

"Stream in Springtime" (8 x 8 oil on gessoboard),

I loved every moment of painting this piece. Achieving the look of rocks under fast-moving water was a very enjoyable challenge.

Forest Stream (6 x 6 inch oil on gessoboard)
 
 
The Pacific Northwest has a way of covering everything in one shade of green or another.  Luckily, green is one of my favorite colors and I got to use so many shades in this little painting!  I couldn't quite get the brightest shade of green to photograph properly.  It is very vibrant in person.

In the Flow (8 x 8 oil on gessoboard) - $NFS
 
Nothing is more soothing than water running over stones.  Capturing that in this painting was a joy!
