"Mountain Pass" Original landscape painting by Robin Weiss

"Mountain Pass"  On the way to Colorado
20x20 oil on canvas  Sold
Available through the Oh Be Joyful Gallery, Crested Butte CO

 Designated one of Daily Paintworks Picks of the Day!!  Thanks DPW!

We have been driving the back way to Colorada the last few years and I find it much more enjoyable and inspiring rather than the main highways that make it unavoidable going through Salt Lake City. Nothing against Salt Lake City. It's a fun destination to go and stay awhile....just no fun if you are trying to get from point A to point B...and it is in the way!  But there are some great back road ways to get there and most you can travel just as fast. Going through West Yellowstone, Teton National Park and then past the Wind River Mountains down into Colorado offers views like the one above.  This painting is on display in Crested Butte, CO at the Oh Be Joyful Gallery. Check out their website HERE

Thanks for following along on the journey!   Have fun and stay creative!

"Cut Field" along the Trans Canadian highway.

"Cut Field"  8x10 oil on panel    SOLD

We spent two days driving across seemingly endless prairie. Huge vistas of big skies and distant horizons.Cattle were scattered across the landscape and the Canadian Pacific Railroad followed along most of the highway. I love the stark beauty of those scenes and now it's my job to try and take my memories, some sketches and some flat lifeless photos and create the mood and feeling I had while traveling through Canada.

"Fall Flower Garden" oil landscape painting, flowers

It's the time of year when Leigh's Fall flowers start blooming in the garden....I can't resist the color as the beautiful late season light hits the reds and yellows......I painted this very same scene in 2008 when there was a lot more sunflowers in it(click here to view). The two paintings are similar yet very different. It is interesting to see the progression of style and paint application.

"Clouds over LaConner" oil landscape painting, tulip festival

The day we went to LaConner was a typical northwest day with weather changing by the hour. Bright beautiful sun with intense color in the shadows and crisp light bouncing off all the wet surfaces.....to overcast with wind blowing the dark clouds across the landscape.
