1974 Harley in 12X16 Oil

At the Borgo Pass Vineyard I found this old Harley.  They also had a sawmill, old cars, tractors as well as some very unique buildings.  All great subjects for painting.  This is my fourth painting there.

Cardwell Hill Cellars Vineyard - 9X12 Oil Painting

This painting was made at a Vistas & Vineyard Paint Out on 7 Sept.

Yaquina Bay Bridge - 18X24 Acrylic

I made this painting following an outing to Newport, Oregon.  We were at the south end of the bridge and this painting resulted from a number of sketches.  Obviously this viewpoint is from the middle of the bay, about 30 feet away from the bridge.  This month is the 75th birthday of the bridge which is sometimes called "The Green Lady".

Tractor with Umbrella (and Attitude) - 9X12 Acrylic

From last weeks Vistas & Vineyards visit to Detering Nursery.

Two Acrylic Paintings at Finley Wildlife Refuge

The Finley Wildlife Refuge is just south of Corvallis, OR.  The first is a smoke house that is a registered historic building.  The second is the Fiechter House, the carriage house and a large red barn in the distance.

Two Oil Paintings from Silver Falls State Park, Oregon

These 12X16 paintings were started during our recent paint out at Silver Falls which is near Silverton.  The first is the Lodge and the second is a bridge near South Falls.

Out To Pasture - 16X20 Oil Painting

I have always been interested in one of the old tractors at the Detering Nursery named "Little Putt-Putt".  This is my latest painting featuring this tractor.  I call it "Out to Pasture".

Ford Wonkster Front End - 20X24 Oil Painting

I just completed a second Ford Wonkster painting, this time a frontal view.  I plan to show both at the August 6 Clothesline Sale of Art in Corvallis on the Courthouse Lawn.

Paintings from the Dancing Oaks Nursery

The first painting is a 9X12 acrylic of two oaks dancing.   The second one is an ink/watercolor drawing of a group of Lilium "Satisfacion" in my sketchbook.
