These are a few of the paintings I've been working on this month. 

Multnomah Falls - I've painted Multnomah Falls many times trying to get it "just right".  These two versions are my favorite so far.  It is such a beautiful place.  It is only a few miles from my home and studio.  I go there often especially when I have out of town visitors.  It is the number one tourist attraction in the state of Oregon.  I am very blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the USA.

Evening in Purples and Blue - Our youngest son lived in California for a short time and on a trip to visit him we passed so many beautiful rolling hills on the way to Yosemite National Park.  We were returning from our day trip to the park and this is a slightly abstracted version of those hills in the cool evening colors. 

Sunflower - Sunflowers are so fun to paint because they are so Big and Showy.  This painting was purchased by my cousin Launa at our family reunion auction.  Every person who comes to the reunion donates something they've made.  The proceeds of this auction funds the next family reunion.  Thank you Launa for buying my painting!
