Blue Roof Barn at the Slough
16x20, oil on hardboard, framed

Early one morning the sun struggled to breakthrough at Penn Cove in Coupeville.
Bluff by Ebey's Landing
Oil, 12x16
Standing atop Ebey's Landing, as I watched the marine layer evaporate, the striations in the landscape struck a chord with me.
Fields Below Ebey's Landing
Oil, 12x16
