Upcoming Show at the Skagit Historical Museum


I have never had so much response from a painting as I have to “Skagit Icon”, the featured painting for the promotion of the “Paint Me a River” show at the Skagit Historical Museum, October 10 – January 3. I believe it is as much about the amazing distribution that the museum has done as it is painting. The painting was a plein aire piece that I did several years ago (2004). I was at one of my favorite spots, the mouth of the Skagit, looking south towards Mt. Pilchuck. The shapes and curves of the river at that moment seemed so natural, so perfectly in place with the rushes and cattails and the river mud that it became for me an icon of the Pacific Northwest. The opening will be October 10, 4 pm to 7 pm. This is a group show and I have just the one piece in it. Come and enjoy the art, the artists, and the evening.
