Last summer I had the pleasure of joining other members of
Northwest Pastel Society for a few days on a
plein air painting excursion in the
Hood River, Oregon, area. What tremendous fun it was to work in great weather along the mighty
Columbia River and Gorge where the scenery is so varied and often dramatic. Here's a painting from that trip, and another one from a visit with my daughter and her family at their farm in
Shelton, Washington.
I'd also like to encourage you to look at the galleries of some of the
Northwest Pastel Society members I painted with in Hood River by
clicking on their names:
Janice Wall of Vashon Island, WA;
Barbara Szkutnik of Battleground, WA;
Christine Knowles of Hood River, OR;
Brenda Boylan of Portland; and
Michael Fisher of Portland. They're a great group of people and have been very supportive and encouraging to me in my artistic journey.

Both are very nice, but I especially love "Between the Trees" - I love old cabins like that. Painting with other artists on location is really energizing, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHi Sonya: Thanks for your comments! I'm glad to finally "meet" you after having followed your blog for a while. Yes, painting outside with others is one of my very favorite activities.
DeleteI agree, "Between the Trees" is soooo lovely! That turquoise sky is the perfect compliment to the rough cabins... Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diane. And it's a pleasure to finally "meet" you, too!
