Day 213 Bayview Plein Air

 

Bayview State Park - Plein Air

Oil on Canvas

8 x 10

This is from a recent PAWA paintout near LaConner. I took this painting into class where Ned gave me a whole list of things I could do to improve it. Sadly, I haven't applied them yet. Someday... :) Also thanks to Robin Weiss for his suggestion to paint the foreground with a pallete knife. It's a tool I mostly use just to mix paint but it can do so much more.

Day 196 Bayview State Park Paint Out

Feather painting at Bayview

Larry working hard

Saturday morning I had the pleasure of facilitating a plein air  paint out for PAWA at Bayview State Park. We had a great turn out. After a potluck lunch many people headed off to paint in La Conner.

 

I loved the sky reflecting in the water next to this cute little sailboat in La Conner.

 My friend Margaret and I went on a little jaunt next to Padilla Bay. We were scouting out future painting locations. I tell you what, the Skagit Valley is bursting with great painting locations.

 PAWA is having an exhibition in La Conner at the Seaside Gallery. Lots of wonderful paintings to be seen in this show.
