River of Golden Dreams

This dramatic original oil painting depicts the “River of Golden Dreams” near Whistler, British Columbia. It is executed on an 18″ X 24″ archival Masonite panel with a linen overlay. The panel has a 2″ birch cradle with a natural, hand rubbed finish, which serves as a contemporary frame.  

I might add that while I was standing on the bridge composing this painting, a huge black bear walked out of the forest and came toward the bridge. I smiled and walked calmly backwards while it smiled and walked calmly toward me, gaining ground. Fortunately it decided to exit the trail and finish it’s lunch, which did not include me, in the bushes. Who says art is not exciting?

On The High Note

“On The High Note”  depicts the sweeping views toward Lake Cheakamus from Whistler Mountain, British Columbia. The soaring mountains and  alpine meadows cradle the glacier fed lake as if a hand full of precious turquoise had been cast into the landscape.  This painting is executed on an 18″ X 24″ archival Masonite panel with a linen overlay. The panel has a 2″ birch cradle with a natural, hand rubbed finish, which serves as a contemporary frame. To purchase this painting, please visit my website at “www.theartistsjourney.com”

 

Liquid Copper

The riverside walk in Leavenworth skirts the edges of the  Wenatchee River. We find quiet pools, bridges, glimpses of the surrounding mountains, and most of all the lovely reflections in the liquid landscape of the water. As we explore Blackbird Island, the autumn colors range from deep rusty reds to brilliant cadmium yellows, interspersed with dark greens and blues. It feels like liquid copper and gold have been poured over nature’s tapestry.

Oil on linen panel, 14” X 14″. This painting can be purchase on my website at http://www.theartistsjourney.com in the “buy art and book” section.
