The Dosewallips – Spring Runoff

Click on the painting and it should enlarge in your browser.

No presketch on this one, so I can’t show you the process – it seemed pretty clear so I just started painting. After Nancy posted our exploits along the Northeast Olympic’s Dosewallips River a few days ago, and thereby beat me to a post about its stunning beauty, I put aside a couple of more serious projects to finish this painting up. I was moved by the late afternoon sun was streaming through the canyon and really lighting up the streamside alders. It just seemed like a painting, which it now is. With a big snow pack upslope quickly turning to water, the river was loud, frantic, seemingly in a very great hurry to hit the ocean just a few miles downstream to the east. What a place! What a place to live – and paint!

This ORIGINAL painting is varnished board, 24″ x 48″ and is offered here for $1200 framed. Shipping adds just a bit more depending on your zone or if you take the frame. This is the original painting, NOT a print.

Thanks for reading this week. Can you hear the river’s roar?
