Windswept Farmland

Windswept Farmland - 6x6 - Oil on Gessobord

Click to BidI saw this scene many weeks ago while driving on the Umatilla Indian Reservation just east of Pendleton, Oregon.

This scene is NOT from my home, the Columbia Basin of eastern Washington. Really, it's from central Oregon in the Prineville area. But the scene in my photo caught my eye because the clouds imply a blustery weather system like the one my allergies and I have been dealing with lately!

I can't seem to get away from clouds lately, their colors, shape and texture is endlessly fascinating to me! These clouds are from the Utah desert along HWY 89, but lately we've been getting some great ones with our annual springtime windstorms here in eastern Washington State.

OK, I wasn't kidding when I said last time that these tiny ACEO sized paintings look great in mini easels. Here's a shot of this painting in an easel that I rubbed with a craft store gold-leaf wax:

I love this as a little accent for a bookshelf, or for brightening up my work desk!

Sometimes ideas need to percolate before painting them. The reference for this photo was taken last March outside of Bend, OR, as a snow and rain flurry blew past my husband and me.
