Ah - Plein Air

A group of us plein air painters were invited to paint at the Cherish the Chetco event in Brookings/Harbor, OR.  The activities were so much fun including looking at water bugs under a microscope and kayaking.  What a treat.  The weather was even nice... at first.
I set up my easel in the shade and before long, I was in full sun. I moved to another shady spot and started a new painting. Then the weather changed. Ah- plein air.
So I took home my paintings and added a few strokes to complete them as far as I am going to take them. I was happy with the outing and the opportunity to paint outdoors.
Oh and my plant markers are cleaned, low fired, stained and put in the kiln for their last firing.
