Oregon Mountains
HIking with Bill through Oregon's wilderness has helped inspire me to paint a series of paintings depicting some of the rarest and most beautiful views of Oregon's mountains.
Mt. Jefferson and Jefferson Park in April, as seen from Park Ridge, watercolor, 26"x20"
Mt. Hood with beargrass on a ridge near McNeil Point, watercolor, 27"x22"
Samurai Warrior Contemplating Mt. Hood from Dollar Lake, acrylic and watercolor, 22"x28"
Mt. Washington (Watercolor)
Mt. Jefferson from Bays Lake (Watercolor)
Middle Sister (Watercolor)
Mt. Washington (Watercolor)
Mt. St. Helens (Watercolor)
Middle Sister and Prouty Point (Watercolor)
The Three Sisters have some of Oregon's most dramatic mountain scenery, especially when they are clad in the snows of winter. Here are three views.
Middle Sister from Camp Lake, watercolor, 11"x14"
Silhouette of the Three Sisters from Carpenter Mountain, watercolor, 11"x14"
South Sister from Camp Lake, watercolor, 20"x26"
Steens Mountain, in the Southeastern Oregon high desert country, is also a dramatic location to visit in winter, although few people manage it. Bill had to ski 16 miles in a freezing gale to take a photograph of the mountain's summit cliffs and the Alvord Desert beyond. I used his photo as a starting point for my watercolor.
Steens Mountain in April, watercolor, 17"x21"
Finally, here are two views of Crater Lake in April -- an acrylic and a watercolor, showing Wizard Island from different angles, with very different stylistic approaches.
Crater Lake, acrylic, 20"x26"
Crater Lake in Winter, watercolor, 11"x14"
