Orcas Island III, pacific northwest painting


“Orcas Island II”
Approx. 8 in x 12 in, oil on wood
Jessie Rasche

I’m thrilled with this one. I wanted to convey the lushness of the pasture and the enormity and density of the trees behind. There are several sheep, both adults and babies, basking in the sun in the pasture. This was a really beautiful spot on the island.
