Reflection on Padden Creek

This painting was in the Fate of the Forest show in Bellingham Lightcatcher Museum throughout the summer of 2011.  It is the first painting in my new series: Reflecting on the Seasons.  I can be reached at 1000 Harris, Suite 21, Fairhaven, Washington, where I work in an artist studio.  Also see http://artcanyon.blogspot.com and www.nancycanyon.com.

Stay Awhile

Shell Fragment


Shell fragment, one of five shell paintings from a series I did in 1996. I liked the colors found in nature, the peach and pink and grays. Very pretty and canvas made these paintings soft in texture.

Shell Fragment


This painting is about 18 x 18 inches. It is painted on canvas and I've used glazing and dry brush to get a transparent effect and for a solidity, or opacity.

Cat's Cradle

 This painting has been donated to Orcas Island
Artsmith, a nonprofit artist venue for writers and visual artist. It is acrylic on paper.

Two Birds

After I moved to Bellingham, my nephew died. At the memorial, his widow picked the song Three Little Birds. Three feathers appeared on the back porch. Later that summer I painted this painting, Two Birds.

Everything is Changing


This is a painting done on hot pressed paper. The paper has a gloss to it and it holds the paint on top. It gives the piece a more painterly appearance.
