“Cherry Forest A” by Ash Oaksmith is an atmospheric landscape painting. The piece captures a moody, expansive sky dominated by soft, billowing clouds, evoking a sense of shifting light and quiet drama. Below, a darkened foreground stretches outward, its subtle reflective surface guiding the eye toward a distant horizon where a cluster of deep red and earthy-toned forms, suggestive of trees or a low hillside, provides a striking contrast. The composition balances openness with intensity, blending painterly softness and rich tonal depth to create a contemplative, almost cinematic sense of space and solitude. Ash draws inspiration through travel, memories of childhood summers on the Great Lakes and road trips through the Great Plains states. These experiences are realized through vivid colors and texture in ‘color field landscapes’. Ash’s recent paintings are inspired by the beauty of the Olympic Mountains and Greater Puget Sound Area.  Wind plays an essential role in each of her paintings, and it is the interaction of wind in sweeping landscapes that she thinks about during those first brush strokes. There are times that we seek out change and upheaval, like a howling gale, just as there are times when we need complete stillness and order.
