“Cherry Forest B” by Ash Oaksmith is a luminous, atmospheric painting that centers on a dramatic convergence of sky and land. Voluminous clouds in soft grays, creams, and pale golds billow upward with a sense of quiet movement. Along the horizon, a low band of blush and rose tones introduces warmth and contrast, dissolving into the darker, reflective foreground below. The artist’s fluid brushwork and subtle tonal shifts create a sense of depth and transience, evoking a fleeting moment of light and weather that feels both expansive and intimate, ideal for collectors drawn to serene yet expressive contemporary landscapes. 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.
