New works for the fall and winter season at Fairweather’s.  Fun fact:  Gretha was introduced by fellow Fairweather  artist Bev Drew Kindley “Those that live for the arts, support the arts.”

 

Gretha Lindwood, artist:

These paintings are created en plein air, or, on location, in the open air, where the sights, sounds, colors and smells are most vivid”.

 

“Moonrise Over Commonwealth Lake” – painted en plein air during a full moon in early evening as it was starting to get dark.

“Quiet Time” – painted en plein air at Commonwealth Lake at about dusk on a warm summer day.

“Rising Clouds” – painted en plein air along the side of quiet road in a mountainous area Southern Oregon; the day was warm yet a bit breezy and the clouds were constantly changing; as I was at my easel painting I heard a crackling and noisy commotion on the hill behind the taller trees and saw another tree fall…then all was quiet again.

“Summer Lake In July” – painted en plein air as I worked at my easel in the cool shade along the shore of Summer Lake in Tigard, Oregon. A few families of mallard ducks came paddling by always with mama duck in front leading a string of ducklings.

“Walk In Webster Woods” – painted en plein air; as one of the juried artists of Paint the Peninsula, I did this a demo painting of a path through the salal bushes on the grounds of the Port Angeles Fine Art Center during the event.
