“Orcas Island V”
6 in x 8 in, oil on wood
Jessie Rasche
On our last day of vacation we went to the big park on Orcas. You can drive up to the top of the hill/mountain, walk a little ways up a steep incline to a tower on the edge of a cliff, way way up (it was too foggy to see how far up we were), and then climb up to the top of a tower and look out to the end of the earth. I have a slight fear of heights and had an adrenaline overload by the time we got back down to water level. But it was beautiful and magical. The fog rolled in and out, giving the place a mysterious, other-worldly feel. This is a painting of my guys walking ahead of me up to the tower. I wanted to capture that sweet hand-holding.

I’m having a great time painting figures this week. Today’s painting is not finished yet – I’ll work at it more this evening. It’s two toddlers sitting against a tree together. 8×8, oil on mounted canvas.
Me and the baby in the park. I really love this sentamental little scene. Oil on wood, 6×6.
Oil on canvas board, 8×8. After a few days of not getting anywhere, I started this one.
Looking across the river. I’m getting a little more confident with my landscapes.
My painting arrived today and it is even better than I had hoped for! I love the way you mounted it in an offset shadow box frame~~ It sets off the painting perfectly!!
