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

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.
