Pacific Northwest Sky

When you're visiting Snoqualmie Falls, look in the opposite direction of the falls.  It's a beautiful expanse of sky and trees to the west and is glorious at sunset.  This painting was inspired by a photo I took at this very spot in December 2023.  The sun had just set, but there was a lovely variety of colors still hanging in the sky.  Clouds were a mixture of greys, oranges and purples against the clear teal blue sky.  And the line of evergreens was so dark, it was practically black.  I used the paint 'splotch' technique that I've been enjoying using lately on my landscapes.  It turned out very fun, and I think it represents perfectly unperfect PNW.

This painting is framed with a black floater frame and ready to hang.
