"Mt. Baker Farm" oil landscape painting by Robin Weiss

"Mt. Baker Farm" 18x36 oil on canvas SOLD

I had a tough time getting a good photograph of this painting. That happens sometimes with the larger work since it is harder for me to control the lighting. We found this scene on the way back from Vancouver, BC. It is near Lynden on the border of Washington state.

Robin Weiss said...: Kari, Thank you! I tend to push color as far as I think I can get away with.....sometimes it works , other times not.

Thank you Kathleen! The location is painting perfect! I will try and get back there again this year.
