​Working from charcoal thumbnails I did as a demo in my recent workshop, these small landscapes were so fun - because thumbnails have no color, it allowed me the freedom to choose any color I wanted to create the mood I imagined. Here I imagined finding a field of abandoned wheat flowing into nearby woods. I love the pink sky and touches of purple that enhance the Indian yellow fields.  $95 oil on panel - email evenhus@hotmail.com to purchase

Art Lovers Sunday at Pybus


 "Creekside Cadence" was done yesterday during the 2nd Art Lovers Sunday
at Pybus Public Market in Wenatchee. You can see the block-in below and
then below that you'll see the B&W of the finished piece to check values.
I worked on creating pure design, working an composition, value and color.
There were a ton of people come through on Mother's Day - lots of energy,
laughter, and questions from passers by.   9x12" pastel on UArt 280.







"Showoff" Finds New Home


"Showoff" an exquisite pastel painting of some of my peonies has found a new home.
During the Pybus Public Market "Art Lover's Sunday" yesterday, she went with a collector who has several of my other paintings. And I know where she lives so I can go visit.  That's the best, since sometimes it's hard to send these out into the world!

Spring Storm




I wanted to continue my Daisy series as small oils - this began with the
sketch shown below - my challenge was to keep it simple, like the sketch.
I scrubbed the little vase off a couple times, trying to keep it simple.
I love how the black defines the shape of the petals...
