No. 652 Ronald's Quilt Barn - Plein Air

This funky old barn is in Ronald, a tiny town outside of Roslyn on the east side of Snoqualmie Pass. I just love to paint in this area. The vegetation isn't as dense as it is here on the soggy, west side. A wall of vegetation doesn't make for a very interesting painting so the open spaces of the east side are quite a breath of fresh air.

A couple of weeks ago I had the great good fortune to attend a PAWA paint out in and around Mt. Vernon with two wonderful painting buddies. The weather was great on the first day but not so hot the other two. We had a terrific time anyway. On the trip I indulged my fondness for doing tiny paintings.

Another painting from the Gorge paint out. This ranch is a part

of the State Parks and is above Horsethief Lake. There are several

great old buildings here one could use as a subject. It was a little

difficult painting in between huge gusts of wind. Also a few people

drove by way faster than they needed to, kicking up big clouds of dust.

Nancy kindly let me use her car as a bit of a wind break, sadly it didn't help with the dust.

 I'd be happy to paint here again-in the morning though when it's not so windy

and fast drivers are still asleep. :)
