Galleries

 | | This gallery features my latest work in gouache paint on water color paper or brown paper. I have been painting with gouache for over twenty years, enjoying the color and quality this medium yields. Some works are inspired by Morris Graves, other works are inspired by early American painters such as Edward Hicks and interesting characters that keep popping up in my work. |
 | | I love to paint dogs and various other creatures show up as well. I find dogs an endless source of material since they are so diverse in looks and nature. |
 | | Ms. O'Briens landscape paintings are inspired by the view from her studio window overlooking the Snohomish river and also the Palouse region of Eastern Washington state. |

End of the Day2024! This is my first painting of the year! I am donating it to the Schack Arts Center H'Arts annual auction fundraiser. This is the view from my house in Lowell which I have painted so many times I can't keep count. Either in the background or as the central theme as this one is.LIfe on the River
It's a beautiful day in Everett overlooking the Snohomish River from my window. We have lived here for over 40 years! I have painted this scene so many times because i love it. The river is my muse, kind of like Georgia O'Keefe and the Pedernal.
Cowgirl BBQ purchase painting
I am happy to announce that the Cowgirl BBQ in Santa Fe, NM has purchased Miss Lori Lou Busts a Bronc for their art collection. I first visited the Cowgirl BBQ in 1995 when it was only 2 years old and now they celebrate their 30th year in business! Congratulations and thank you Patrick Lambert.
Dog days of Summer
Just relaxing during these hot summer days. Haven't painted in a while but am gearing up to do some nocturne palouse paintings. I love the palouse imagery so that's a good place to start.
Santa Fe Time
Santa Fe has been surrounded by horrendous fires but we are okay. New Mexico is such a beautiful, inspiring state it makes it very sad that some lovely areas are burning and people are losing their homes. Hopefully rain will come soon and help the firefighters.
