Cascade Head Trail Spring, 11 x 14 in acrylic painting on canvas.

This acrylic painting of the view looking south from Cascade Head Trail employs recycled palette paint in the form of collage; impasto, for a 3D effect of the clouds, and the hills in the distance; and thickened paint, layered on smoothly, wiped at the edges, and painted
over to make butterflies “pop.” Cascade Head UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is home to the endangered Oregon silver spot butterfly and snowshoe hare, both of which are depicted in this painting.

Comes in a contemporary gold frame, ready to hang.

Shipped free within the US.

►ABOUT THE ARTIST◄

Olga V. Walmisley-Santiago, a British artist based in Independence, Oregon, is known for her vibrant acrylic landscape and still life paintings filled with color, movement and detail, and watercolors that dance with reflections and light.  She celebrates the beauty of nature and brings out the “hidden colors” in the depths of a river, the sparkle of a waterfall, or the edge of a leaf.  Her impressionistic paintings create a world of “magic realism” with dream-like colors and uplifting tones.   Olga was born and raised in London, England,, and has strong ties to Spain and Mexico, having lived in London,  Spain, Ohio, and Kentucky before moving to Oregon.   These layers of culture and experience lend her a unique artistic perspective, and a sense of life as a constant exploration and adventure.  As she continues on her exploration of Oregon and beyond, she constantly takes photos, to later recapture some of the essence of a fleeting moment of beauty in a special place.  She highlights the magic of natural beauty with colorful paintings of mountains, rivers, flowers, fields, waterfalls and coastal scenes, and the creatures and plants that live there.
