This work is part of the “Central Washington & The Cascades” collection featuring original pastel and oil paintings. Inspired by the open vistas of Central Washington and the rugged grandeur of the Cascade Mountains. The collection explores the region’s distinctive contrasts—high desert light, sweeping valleys, and dramatic alpine forms—rendered in layered color and expressive texture. Saltiel’s newest works move between wide, sunlit expanses and mountain scenes shaped by weather and elevation. From warm, wind-carved terrain to cool, distant peaks, the collection highlights the changing moods of the landscape and the visual rhythm of ridgelines, fields, and sky. Using pastel for immediacy and oil for depth, Saltiel builds scenes that feel both grounded in observation and alive with atmosphere. This release continues Saltiel’s growing landscape practice, presenting a cohesive series that invites viewers to experience Central Washington and the Cascades through a contemporary, place-centered lens.
