Mud Bay II is a mixed media original painting - acrylic, oil, and pastel - that captures the emotional landscape of the lower Puget Sound tidal flats where the artist grew up. Loose, energetic marks build layers of reflected light across still water, while the tree line pulses with the warm-cool tension of changing seasons. The sky moves with the same playful restlessness as the land below it, connecting sky and mudflat in a single feeling rather than a fixed view.
This is memory as color - the particular quality of light on brackish water, the red-orange of autumn shoreline grasses, the lavender-grey that settles over Mud Bay when the tide pulls out. Painted with freedom and affection for a place that shaped the artist’s eye and heart.
