This painting is from the same day as yesterday's post, a little farther south. The weather, while still misty (it is the ocean side, after all) has definitely warmed up. Very sunny...
There is a perfectly nice lighthouse at this park, but I wasn't quite up to tackling it, so I worked on this bluff instead.


As you may notice, there's no umbrella attached to the easel here (as in yesterday's post). It was far too windy, so I did without.

I also did without sunscreen, and developed quite a nasty burn on my neck and arms.

I'm back! I had a really intense (and fun!) road trip the last couple of weeks. I drove from Seattle to Palm Springs and back. I covered 3,000 miles of some amazing scenery.

Over the next two weeks, you'll see the results of the plein air painting I did along the way.

I certainly learned a lot, and am excited to do more.

Boiler Bay is the first picture I've painted outdoors in years, and while I'm rusty, I was prepared (you can see my mobile art studio basket in the picture below). The weather was hazy, but warm-- it was the first day of a week long heat wave on the West Coast! (more on that later)


The locale is south of Lincoln City, Oregon-- a place connected to me through my family over many years.

Posting has been light as I have been getting ready for, and am now on a +2 week road trip.

I'm traveling up and down the Pacific coast, working on landscape painting.

If any are any good, you'll see some of them when I get back... unless I finagle internet access along the way.

See you back here close to the end of May!

The bottle is an intriguing piece-- it's a vermouth bottle, a weird shade of green, and slightly squared off shape...
