Camano Island artist, Jed Dorsey loves how light changes objects, from alleyways to mountain vistas, plants, and trees, creating shadows and diverse colors. One of his favorite subjects to paint is filtered sunlight on roads, rivers, sidewalks, or paths. It is an invitation to the viewer. He paints landscapes and cityscapes because he has lived in both rural and urban spaces, and sees beauty in both. Whether painting on location or from reference material, he uses a strong sense of design and composition to create scenes in an aesthetically pleasing way, adding his own colorful interpretation.
