Day 275 Baby Sparrow Sings

I found this little guy at a plein air paint out last spring on Rosario Beach.

According to the gal painting nearby, he serenaded her all afternoon

from about four feet away. How cute is that?

Day 204 Rosario Beach Plein Air

 

Rosario Beach

Oil on Canvas Board

8 x 10

 

This painting was started in plein air at Rosario Beach during

our recent PAWA paint out. I took it into class at Ned's where it

 was heavily modified by you know who. If I wasn't so eager to

go to bed I would post the before photo too. Maybe tomorrow

I'll get around to that. :)  

My original version. This photo was taken with my ipad. There is a

definite difference in the color cast. To compare, we didn't

change the color of the water on the right side. What do you think?

I have to say I do like that drift wood.

Day 200 Plein Air at Rosario

 

Picnic Shelter at Rosario Beach - Plein Air

Oil on Gessobord

This is a really rough study of the picnic shelter at Rosario Beach.

One of those great structures built by the CCC or Civilian Conservation Corps.

 I don't know about you but I'm really fond of these old buildings.

Bowman Bay, the next beach over, has a small museum dedicated to the CCCs

work in Deception Pass State Park. They built the amazing bridge spanning the pass too.
