Watching the first morning light hit Mt Rainier from Tipsoo Lake made me appreciate the beauty of the Cascades in a whole new light.

Watching the first morning light hit Mt Rainier from Tipsoo Lake made me appreciate the beauty of the Cascades in a whole new light. The hazy morning air diffused the light, making the peak of Mt Rainier seem to loom out of nowhere.

This painting is part of Erin's 2025 annual Petite Show. The exhibition will be on display at The Erin Hanson Gallery in McMinnville, Oregon, for one day only, Saturday, November 8th. All are welcome to join us for the Artist Reception.

Anyone on Pillowfort?
I joined a few days ago. It's quite 'young' there, needs more grown ups to join! It is great for displaying pictures, and you get a lot of text. A bit like Tumblr without the 300 scam messages a day and no A I allowed!
A good back up social...

It's mushroom season, time to go trudging through the undergrowth to find treasures and take in the magical earthy scent.
These ones are penny buns AKA porcini.

I put a lot of work into this A4 drawing, but damaged the paper around the edge when I removed the masking tape. So I'm selling this one for less than I should be.
