This work is part of the “Olympics and Puget Sound” collection featuring original pastel and oil paintings. The collection celebrates the atmospheric beauty of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound and captures the region’s shifting light, coastal weather, and expansive horizons through richly layered color and expressive mark-making.

Saltiel’s latest works explore the meeting of land, water, and sky—mist-softened ridgelines, luminous breaks in cloud cover, and the quiet drama of shoreline and sea. Moving between the immediacy of pastel and the depth of oil, the collection offers a varied study of Washington’s iconic landscapes, from distant mountain silhouettes to intimate coastal moments.

This release marks a new chapter in Saltiel’s growing body of work, presenting a cohesive series rooted in place and observation, and inviting viewers to experience the Pacific Northwest’s natural grandeur through a contemporary landscape lens.
