Deception Pass, Washington ~ Oil Painting

Deception Pass, Washington ~ Oil Painting

This Oil Painting 16 X 20 stretched canvas is of the predawn fog at Deception Pass Bridge, Washington. Deception Pass, located at the northern end of Puget Sound, is a treacherous, narrow channel with turbulent waters, rapid tidal action, and rocky outcrops. It separates the high bluffs of Whidbey Island from those of Fidalgo Island. A rocky islet, Pass Island, rises in the mouth of the pass and divides it into two channels. Deception Pass Bridge connects Whidbey Island to Pass Island.
I lived on Whidbey Island for 3 years in the mid 60’s.
Created in my Grants Pass, Oregon Studio

    When we were first married, my husband painted that bridge. not a picture of it, but climbing on the actual bridge and painting it. —45 yrs ago.

    Very nice depiction—so moody.

    Your story and history on this wild beauty is wonderful. I love the lavendar light and mists drifting through the Spruce and Pines. It is a beautiful atmospheric landscape painting. Congratulations on your feature today in Impressionist Art.

    Beautiful painting! I’ve been over Deception Pass many times, when we lived in Port Townsend.

  • Barbara Applegate replied

    I lived in Oak Harbor 1963 to 1966 I’ve always been a little homesick. I miss the island, but everyone says I’d be disappointed if I saw it now.
