No images? [Click here]( FRESH FROM THE EASEL Coastal Poppies, 30 x 42 in Fresh Blooms I am pleased to share my newest paintings, fresh from the easel. I have found myself surrounded with floral inspiration this spring. What wildflowers do you love best? Enjoy, Erin Hanson OPEN IMPRESSIONISM in BLOOM Floral Lace, oil on canvas, 36 x 24 in Queen Anne's Lace blooms abundantly around Oregon's valleys and mountains, the tall and stately white flowers taking on the color of the light around them, from shadowy lavender to pale green to buttery yellow and pink. This painting captures their beauty with thick, impasto brush strokes. Wild Sunflowers, oil on canvas, 40 x 40 in Wild sunflowers grow in exuberant, frolicking clusters along the roadside in southern Utah. These hardy flowers provide a beautiful pop of color to the desert landscape. Yellow Irises, oil on canvas, 38 x 28 in Yellow irises bloom in the Oregon countryside, the colorful blooms a beautiful contrast against the rich green leaves. The brush strokes in this semi-abstract painting are loose and impressionistic, alive with color and motion. Oregon Mustard, oil on canvas, 22 x 30 in Wide plains of yellow mustard plants grow abundantly in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The mountains surrounding the valley are purple in the distance. Loose, expressive brush strokes capture the beautiful, changing color of the scene. Carmel Ice Plants, oil on canvas, 36 x 46 in The banks of the Monterey Peninsula, near Carmel, California, are covered in bright pink ice plants in the spring. This oil painting captures the beautiful, contrasting colors of spring in Carmel, with thick, impressionistic brush strokes. Crimson Clover, oil on canvas, 32 x 26 in Endless fields of bright magenta-crimson clover grow in abundance around Oregon's Willamette Valley. The bees buzz happily above the clover, as the blooms brighten and become full of vibrant color. Dance of Irises, oil on canvas, 40 x 60 in Large iris flowers grow abundantly around central Oregon's wine country. The irises come in colors I have never seen before... ivory, yellow, burgundy, pink! This painting captures some classic purple irises, painted in thick, impressionistic brush strokes and vibrant color. [View Available Paintings]( You Are Invited!

She began commissioning paintings at age ten, and by age twelve she was employed after school by a mural studio, creating works on the grand scale of hundred-foot canvases. Two years later, a high school scholarship took her to Otis College of Art, where she immersed herself in figure drawing. Graduating high school at age sixteen, Hanson next attended UC Berkeley, pursuing a passion for Japanese brush painting while attaining a degree in bioengineering. After graduating from college in 2003, Hanson began painting professionally, gathering her inspiration from landscapes and vantage points beheld only by the most adventurous. Rock climbing among the brilliantly colored cliffs of Nevada and Utah provided the initial inspiration for her work. In these beautiful surroundings, watching the seasons and the light change daily across the desert, Hanson firmly dedicated herself to creating one oil painting every week for the rest of her life. She has held to that decision ever since and has spent nearly twenty years developing a unique, minimalistic technique of placing impasto brush strokes without layering, a style which has become known as “Open Impressionism.” Hanson’s explorations into the outdoors provide a constant source of inspiration for her work. She visits the Colorado Plateau every year, backpacking and hiking through areas such as Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, and Monument Valley. Over a decade ago, Hanson discovered the idyllic landscapes of Paso Robles, Carmel, and the nearby wine country and coastal regions. Now that she was relocated to Oregon wine country, she has become newly inspired by rolling vineyards, epic sunsets and dramatic mountains. She now passionately applies her painting technique to the diverse scenery of the Western states of beyond, transforming the landscapes she loves into abstract mosaics of color and texture.

Each 3-D Textured Replica captures the same brush strokes and colors as the original, using micro-layered 3D modeling and 48-bit color to create the most realistic painting reproductions available today.
