Blue Birds Over Mustard Field

This is the second plein air piece done Saturday in the foothills above Spokane. I was driving around looking for a scene to paint. I drove up a hill and looked around. Nothing really struck me until I turned all the way around and saw the mustard fields below me. I knew I wanted to paint this scene but I also knew it had to be abstract. I wanted to capture the "feeling" of the place. The "soul" of the place. I paused for a while letting the air seep into my skin. The sweet aroma of just-cut alfalfa brought back childhood memories.

Charcoal in hand, I placed a line, a smudge, a curve. Using the mustard field as my impetus, the place became mine.

Ode to Saturn's moon Iapetus

" Journeys: Saturn's Iapetus"
24x24" oil on canvas. This is an interesting piece that evolved through many phases, painting out sections, scrubbing the surface, coaxing the image to the surface. Feedback is welcome.

"INTERLUDE"

Really enjoyed the process with this one. There are many layers of paint and layers of contemplation that went into this. Love the colors and movement. This is a diptych (2 canvases).

30x72" overall size. "Interlude" $2400.00

Evenhus Abstract Demo - painting in progress

I am working on a couple large abstracts at the same time. My "Journey's" series. Here is the first one in progress. I will post a completed version later.

Zen Fen

This large abstract painting began many months ago - the transitions it has taken are quite like my writing - I simply listened and painted - stopped - waited - then painted some more. You can see the many layers in the detail shown below. I love the subtle transitions, the underlayers peeking through, the random spots, like claw marks or windows in an old building. It is neither or both. What is "Fen?"

"Zen Fen" 30x36" oil on canvas $1200.00.
