Morning Strokes
One drizzly February morning this beautiful rainbow appeared. It only lasted 20 seconds.
The Long Story
Sometimes a great painting can take 50 years to realize. Starting in the early 70’s I spent a lot of time searching for the Great Rainbow over Mt. Tam image to photograph. I never found the really big show for 30 years. Then it finally appeared one drizzly February morning after dropping off my son Dan for rowing practice. Of course I had no camera. This is what I saw. It didn’t last twenty seconds. It has taken the last 20 years for me to learn enough to portray the painting in this way.

“The mysterious landscapes that Doug creates with his original palette and unique brushstrokes create a wondrous perspective.”

Ever since I first saw this view 40 years ago I’ve thought it is Marin’s most dramatic and spectacular landscape.

This smaller version was painted simultaneously with the large panorama. They look identical but not one stroke is the same.
