"Poulsbo Crossing" original oil painting by Robin Weiss

"Poulsbo Crossing" 11x14 oil on panel   $800

 

Continuing on with the Poulsbo series this scene looks up the hill on Front Street . Along this stretch are a couple coffee shops I like to fuel up in the morning.  The Poulsbohemian at the top of the hill and Cafe Cocina on the right.  I hope you get a chance to visit Poulsbo some time. It is becoming an international tourist destination these days reflecting a growth spurt of business and folks moving in.  If you do visit us be sure to check out the Front Street Gallery! It is a cooperative of many talented and local artists and you can find my recent work there.

Here's wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

"Poulsbo Evening" original oil painting by Robin Weiss

"Poulsbo Evening" 20x10 oil on panel
SOLD

 

I hope everyone had a peaceful, joyous Christmas!  Ours was quiet this year but filled with beautiful moments among family and friends.  

I have been working in the studio lately with the weather turning cold and wet in the Pacific Northwest.

I have gathered a ton of referance photos over the summer and lots of studies and sketches to work from. I just fineshed a series of paintings from Poulsbo, the little town here on the Kitsap Penisula where we live. Well, "little" Poulsbo is growing fast! Lots of tourists in the summer and new folks moving in. All that has helped the art sales.  

I'm looking forward to the coming year with lots of shows planned and workshops to teach. Check out the Black Barn for their schedule of classes and workshops coming up. I will also be participating in shows at Alki Arts in West Seattle, J G Gallery in Winslow, The Scott Milo Gallery in Anacortes and The Cole Gallery in Edmonds in 2025.

I appreciate so much all those of you who have followed along, supported and encouraged me this year!

 Thank you!! Have a Blessed New Year!
