North Beach Pond. 2018, Oil on Panel. 24" x 18". This is the pond on the north side of Samish Island . It's just a mile from my studio, walking through the forest. I see it often, all different times of day. To see paintings at Smith and Vallee in Edison, please click here.

Joseph Canyon Road. 2018. Oil on Panel. 24" x 18" Just finished, this is from a sun drenched visit to northeast Oregon last summer. We stayed on the edge of Joseph Canyon at the Rim Rock Inn . It was a deep pleasure to watch the light on the grasses and across the canyon early in the morning and at the end of the day, like in this painting.

My most read post is for software to inventory artwork. Several years ago I found one that works well, and they continue to update it to make it more useful for artists, and so I've stuck with one: Artwork Archive. You can click through to see my public page (super useful for showing people what's available, what the sizes are and how much they cost): https://www.artworkarchive.com/artwork/lisa-mcshane Like this one, Joseph Canyon Dusk. Joseph Canyon Dusk. 2018, Oil on Panel. 24" x 18"

Rain on Ortygia. 2018, Oil on Linen Panel. 30" x 35" The sea. This is the Mediterranean Sea from Ortygia but it could be just outside my door. We were there in December, traveling at Christmas. It was delightful. This painting is in the Bird Show at Smith and Vallee Gallery for the month of February. Go! We are awash in birds in Skagit County and this show celebrates that.

Moonrise at the Canyon. 2017. Oil on Panel. 18" x 24" This last September I spent a week as the Artist in Residence at Grand Canyon - Parashant National Monument . It's a remarkable place. This is the first of many paintings from that experience.
