Salish Overlook.
10×20 inch Acrylic and Spray Paint on Canvas
Chuckanut Mountain – Salish Overlook is a plein air landscape painting created on Chuckanut Mountain near Bellingham, Washington. Painted from the Salish Overlook viewpoint, the work explores the dramatic terrain, coastal forests, and expansive views that make Chuckanut Mountain one of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic outdoor destinations.
Located close by—only a 20-minute drive—with an unobstructed view of the sunset and the ocean. This is a special spot I plan to paint at more often. This size is a bit too small for me, but I know it’s an attractive price point; I think going a little larger next time would be nice.
Retrospectively, I’d want to paint this subject on a larger scale, focusing on the leaves and just a small section of the tree. I try not to have personal feelings toward the work most of the time; it doesn’t help my process, and honestly, I can be pretty off on what I think people are willing to buy.
