Working on some new work with my awesome daughter @elenagrace6 for our growing @o2art.s 2 Orwicks collection of works. It a lot of fun working on these paintings together, bouncing ideas off each other. #abstract #painting is always a fun challenge for me, but I really love stepping out of my comfort zone.

First time painting at Silver Creek Falls. Late start so had to quickly try to catch the last light on the rim and the top of water on the South Falls. Fun challenge. . . . . . . . . . #painting #pleinair #paintingoutdoors #outdoorspainter #pleinairmagazine #sunset #sunsets #sunset_pics #sunset_ig #sunset_love #landscape #landscapes #landscape_lovers #landscape_love #cloud #exploregon #water #hikeoregon #waterfall #silvercreek #outdoors #influencermarketinghub #sunset #landscape #cloud #water #outdoors #artoninstagram #instaart #waterfall (at The Trail Of Ten Falls, Silver Falls State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCL94ICHSGq/?igshid=ddvibbwnqdgg

Very different temperature palettes. I have been doing this a lot lately. Working on near opposites at the same time... not sure why. It would make more sense to use one, or a very similar color scheme on both...one day I’ll understand I. . . . .11 . . . . . . #fineart #contemporaryart #instalike#impressionism #instaart #artwork #acrylicpainting #oiloncanvas #artcollector #artforsale #artistsoninstagram #collectart (at Michael Orwick Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBhHRE-Hxyy/?igshid=mzn95m7ujohk

Work in progress on the studio easel. Very interesting trying to keep the colors very fresh, green and cool while still having a very definite and strong light source. Looking forward to getting back to this one today I’m trying to see if I can nearly finish it up.

Sunset on the Vista House. 16x20 oils on Birch Panel. I feel so lucky to be able to drive an hour each direction and find something amazingly beautiful to paint or photograph. This is the view from the Woman’s Forum or the Iconic Vista House in the Columbia River Gorge just East of Portland Oregon. I started this with a purple underpainting and let it build up from there as the light kept getting stronger and warmer. #exploregon #columbiarivergorge #vistahouse #womansforum #oregonexplored #pdxart #sunset #oilpainting #interiordesigner @michaelorwick (at Vista House At Crown Point) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdkgjpH9De/?igshid=148bj3p204lom

Reflected upon, 16x20 oils on birch panel. This is part of a new show opening @martinhousegallery $1300 please DM for inquiries. This painting is part of larger body I have slowly been working on which I refer to as Zenscapes. I want them to feel like a quiet peaceful refuge in your home or workspace. An almost meditation 🧘‍♀️ and a place to reflect and calm ourselves so that we can face the world with renewed energy and focus. . . . . . .. . . . . . #landscapepainting #landscape #oilpainting #contemporaryart #artist #artcollector #contemporaryart #beautiful #nature #follow #zen #meditation #skylovers #sky_brilliance #sunset #sunset_pics #sunset_love #landscape #landscape_lovers #cloudporn #cloudscape #sunset #sky #painting #artcollector #oilpainting #beautiful https://www.instagram.com/p/CBV32scnCkQ/?igshid=klxpiilwvhvv

Quiet Hour, 20x24 oils on canvas. I was really working to capture a very serene feeling of the iconic #haystackrock in #cannonbeach beach #Oregon it was a fun challenge keeping the colors in harmony as the move up from the cool blue surf to purple horizon up to the creamy gray yellows of the sky. This is going to be part of an upcoming water themed show @artelements #gallery please DM for more information #Painting . . . . . . . in the #artstudio #studio #paintingart #artpainting #instagood #beautiful #sunset #sunset_ig #sunset_love #landscape #landscape_lovers #landscape_love #clouds #cloudscape #water #sunset #landscape #cloud #water #artofinstagram #artistofinstagram #globalartnetwork (at Cannon Beach, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTOQnTnJsj/?igshid=12b9c70gryz0t

Work in progress in the studio today. I really want to capture a foggy sunrise using an impressionistic approach or broken color applied by value and temperature. . . . . . . #fineart #artwork #instaart #landscapeart #landscapepainting #michaelorwick #artforsale #collectart #inspiration #wip #hugheseasels (at Beaverton, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_BAgnnwyW/?igshid=jkqv9cs8f9fx

View from the cabin, #WIP work in progress. 36x36 oils on birch panel. This painting decided that it wanted a little more color and a slightly more impressionistic style of broken thicker brushwork. Sorry about the glare. I’ll get a better photo. . . . . . . . . 4. #oregon #westcoast #art #follows #photography #pnwonderland #beavertonoregon #love #traveloregon #portlandartist #pdxartist #pdxartists #followartist #art #follow #artist #artistsoninstagram #artsy #love #instagood (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0RR8xHLDv/?igshid=1ajzbvwhq88e8

Found a nice cool studio to work in today. Doing a few smaller design and value studies while cooling off my feet.

Two very incredibly different color palettes being worked on currently. I’m not sure this is my best idea. But at least it’s a good challenge and I’m having a good time as I slowly got mad.
