Landscape paintings will be on display at Washington Federal Bank in Eastsound during the month of April.

Local artist Doug Bayley will be showing a series of landscape paintings of scenes on Orcas Island done over the last two years.

There are five larger woodland pieces, mostly of rocks and trees, along with a number of smaller views of meadows, Turtleback, Westsound and island roads.

“I paint in an expressive, representative style, not photographic, or sometimes even recognizable objects, of a particular time and place, that catches my attention,” he said. “Also I am nearsighted, so I ignore extra detail.”

Bayley has shown at his studio in Seattle, The Edmonds Art Walk, Seattle Town Hall, Dunn Garden Art Walk, and has work in a number of private collections.
