"Long
Ago, Far Away" Many years ago Gary and an artist friend took a canoe
trip in Alaska. Old cabins were frequently seen and photographed
and provide inspiration for art even today. Gary used a pen and
ink underpainting which shows through here and there in the
painting. This hints at the years of history and the people who
lived there. The frame is subtle in color but rich in
texture. Many layers of paint were applied, scraped, sanded, and
glazed. So the frame has its own history. Sometimes drama
is what makes the piece, and then there are times like this when
understatement is the key. 23"W x 21"H. $950

"Evening
Fire" Another trip to our beautiful coast and a wealth of memories
distilled in this painting. How wonderful to enjoy a beach fire
from the inexhaustable supply of driftwood while drinking a cup of camp
coffee and watching the sun go down. The frame is cherry, and
with its glass inlays, has an art deco flair. 58"W x 31 1/2"
H. $3800

"Evening Watch". Owls are always
special to hear and see; we sometimes hear them in the woods near our
house in the evenings. As the moon rises this owl is ready to start
hunting. The frame is cherry with a glass inset at the top to echo the
moon in the painting. As framed, 12"W x 34"H, $345

"Emerald Evening". Lake
Crescent is wonderful at any time of the day but it's really special in
the dim light of the evening, and the silence isn't broken by the
passing of a lone kayaker. The cherry frame is a nice contrast to the
rich colors of the painting and glass in the side panels. 39"W x 18 1/2"H. $1850 Back |

"Little Dipper" Original by Gary. Write-up coming soon Back |
 |
"Color Splash". A glance out our window one day revealed colorful visitors, Goldfinches, gone
in a flash but leaving a lasting impression. Gary painted the
background loosely to help suggest this fleeting moment. Birds are so
elegant and sometimes their color allows the use of vibrant glass, like
the glass used in the side panels. As framed, 34" x 12" $486 Back |

"The Little Fisherman", 32" x 28". Frequently seen in our area are river otters; in fact, we often see them from our gallery window. This one is focused on eating a freshly caught fish from a little stream near our favorite secret beach! The design of an otter complements the central painting. As framed, $785, by Gary Peterson.
