Warmly, Erin F R E S H from the E A S E L Mt Hood, 30 x 40 in Mt Hood peeks over the layers of evergreens, glowing a dusky hue of majestic purple in the fiery, sunset sky.

Do you have any less-known Impressionist inspirations? [Erin Hanson] I love the Canadian impressionists The Group of Seven. I have also been inspired by Japanese brush paintings (which I often emulated in college), and some of my other favorite artists are Georgia O’Keeffe, Edgar Payne, and Andrew Wyeth. I get my daily inspiration directly from nature, however. The beauty of early dawn illuminating a National Park, quiet and calm in the off-season, is one of my favorite inspirations. I also love painting California wine country and rugged coastal landscapes. I am inspired by the shifting light and colors during the golden hours, the abstract shapes of unique tree formations, and glorious skies bursting with color. Impressionism is a great style to capture the feeling I get when I am out of doors: the loose brush strokes, impasto paint application, and vibrant colors perfectly express my love for landscapes.
