Landscapes

I love to paint outside. I have cameras, and they are fun, but there is something about capturing an image the hard way that floats my boat. I can't explain it, other than it is an itch I have to scratch. I am working my way through painting all the pretty things within driving range of Tacoma. I'm like any tourist with a camera...except my camera is a 30 pound backpack full of paints and canvases with a 3 hour shutter speed. And yes, there are a lot of paintings of rock climbing areas. I typically take climbing vacations, but bring my easel for rest days.

My new paintings of Mt Rainier can be found at Ashford Creek Gallery which is in the first town coming down from Paradise. He currently has 4 as of August 6, 2021.
