ABOUT THIS PAINTING
This is what I consider
a perfect view of Camano Island from the deck of my studio.
It is my favorite time of day when the sun shows up over
my shoulder and shines her light along the opposing
shoreline, reflecting gold on the windows of our
neighbors on the mainland.
There is
so much variety in the color of the sky in the Pacific
Northwest that I could paint the same sky every day for a
year and not tire of it. Because we have a lot of overcast
days moisture that is caught in the atmosphere acts like
little prisms and intensifies the colors all around us.
Our local colors are very naturally saturated on those
beautiful cloudy days. When we (finally) do see the sun it
seems even more brilliant because of the colors it has to
reflect upon.
