About the Painting
The Japanese maple tree in the Portland Japanese Garden is probably the most photographed tree in Oregon. The gnarled branches and delicate, filigree-like leaves are most beautiful at the peak of fall color, usually around the end of October. This painting captures the strident colors of this famous maple tree.

"Cascade Peaks"
Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson
2025
26 x 36 in

About the Painting
Hiking up the side of Mt Rainier, I felt surrounded in 360 degrees of epic, mountainous beauty. Every hundred feet or so, I would pause and look around, and each time, I was amazed at the changing vistas around me. This painting captures the rocky peaks just south of Mt Rainier, across Paradise Valley. Thick brush strokes capture the strong lines and contrasting colors of the Cascade range.

Happy #Blueskymonday people. Staying grounded is more important than ever as we continue the slide into authoritarianism. Stay focused. Stay healthy and always make time for art, reading, beauty, friends, and family.

About the Painting
I love painting the lavender fields in Sequim on the Olympic Peninsula, in Washington state. The colors are so vibrant and alive--they stir my blood and make me reach for my brushes. This painting captures a field of white daisies in front of dark purple lavender rows, with the Olympic mountains starkly blue in the background. Erin Hanson creates landscapes in oil using her iconic Open Impressionism style. 

The impressionistic brush strokes of the original oil painting create a sense of movement and changing light within the piece.

A colorful, stylized painting of a forest scene featuring tall trees with vivid red leaves in the foreground. The background includes green, blue, and yellow trees under a dynamic, swirling sky of white and blue. The ground is textured with shades of yellow, brown, and green, and the overall image has a stained-glass or mosaic-like appearance.
