No. 510 Craven Farm Squash Bins

 

 

Craven Farm Squash Bins - Plein Air

Oil on Linen Panel

5" x 7"

 

Fall isn't complete without a trip to Craven Farms to paint. I've admired these bins full of squash for several years. An overcast day was the perfect time to paint this normally very shady spot.

 



 

More eye candy around the farm.

 

 

 

Oh yes, I've got my eye on this for another painting trip.

 

You can't beat a turban squash for variety of color and texture.

I made a quick stop at Stockton Farms vegetable stand in Snohomish the other day. I had 45 minutes to paint this. That included set up, painting time and take down before I had to pick my daughter up from school. Phew! Needless to say, the painting was finished at home.

 

It's been terribly busy around here - again! I finished the large painting I'd been working on for the PAWA show and most recently have been putting things together for my booth at the holiday bazaar at Olympic View Middle School tomorrow. If you are local and would like to check it out they are open from 9am - 3pm.

 

I can't wait until the only thing I have to do is a painting a day.

The sunflowers and pumpkins were too fun to paint just once. I especially love the swoopy stem on that little pumpkin.

I just love the soft, golden quality of light on a fall afternoon. My newest plein air painting buddy, Peggy, joined me a couple of days ago to paint some pumpkins at Bailey's. What a great afternoon!

Whoa! September had to be one of the busiest months I've ever experienced. Classes, trips, curriculum nights at the girls schools, the 30 in 30 challenge, it was fun but exhausting. So after recuperating and catching up on neglected to-dos, I'm back! Just in time for painting pumpkins...

 

No. 505 Mt. Shuksun

 

Mt. Shuksun from Artists Point - Plein Air

Oil on Canvas Panel

I was so inspired I actually painted an 8 x 10! Actually, I was so struck by the amazing feeling of space and of being on top of the world, I have plans to paint a much, much larger version. We'll see!

So what do you do when you've run out of time because you've been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to see all the great views?

Why, you paint a mini of course. :)

 

 

 

Just couldn't get enough photos of Mt Baker.
