New to the gallery ✨

A pair of small marina studies, “Harbor Notes” and “Slipside,” painted for the joy of light on water, quiet masts, and the rhythm of boats at rest.

These little 4”x6” pieces are framed in statement-sized gold frames — tiny windows into summer along the harbor.

Part of “Sea to Sky” at Melissa Jander Fine Art.

New to the gallery — Harbor Song ⚓️

A bright little marina painting for the Sea to Sky collection, inspired by Pacific Northwest harbors, sea-glass reflections, and the joy of simplifying shapes and color.

Loving this freer direction lately — less realism, more rhythm, atmosphere, and light.

New to the gallery — Sea to Sky ☁️⚓️

Two small summer studies inspired by the changing light of the Pacific Northwest coast: “Joyous Clouds” and “Wildflowers by the Marina.” Loose brushwork, shifting skies, harbor reflections, and hints of wildflowers capture the feeling of a bright day by the water.

Now showing at Melissa Jander Fine Art in beautiful La Conner.

Boating season has begun and the weather is ideal. As folks are exploring and enjoying the Pacific Northwest lifestyle, views like this are what we get to enjoy right now. This painting “Whidbey Island Madronas” has been getting lots of attention in the gallery this week. It was painted “En Plein Aire” during a Whidbey Island painting event. Are you a fan of the Madrona tree? Drop a comment below. 👇 🙂
