Some works-in-progress at Snohomish Valley viewpoint. One is a reworking of a panel that I was not satisfied with. I’m much happier with the changes, both compositionally and atmospherically.
The intense backlit greens of the grasses give the landscape an ethereal, otherworldly quality that is very typical of the Pacific Northwest during this season. I’m working on this painting as a demonstration project for my plein air students.
The other image is of a similar view, being worked concurrently on overcast days:
