Plein air painting south of Yachats last week was a challenge as strong wind gusts kept trying to blow my equipment away. My "stay-wet" palette of acrylic paint was also defying its name, as the wind would dry my mixes, then blow the wet paint palette over the top of my hand... When lunchtime arrived, I decided to stop fighting this location & work in a more protected area for the afternoon. My previous post talks about that experience. Scroll to see the progression of this painting. As they say: "location, location, location..."!

Yesterday's studio. Swipe to see where I stopped working for the day, and yes, I was freezing underneath the trees. The sun never did break out of the fog bank...

Part 2: we continue with COLOR in this episode, where I started out spraying water on hanging butcher paper cut in 5 foot strips, then applied acrylic paint thinned with water. After tiring of drips, I made this horizontal workspace (scroll to see) & continued these textural & color experiments. Some close up views are also available to peruse - keep scrolling! Stay tuned for episode 3!

I'm back working on this #pleinair calla lily watercolor in a new studio today. Scroll to see my space, the before pic of this painting, & some fun textural paint pics. With record breaking temperatures in the pacific northwest this old house is cooking & the only room that's tolerable is our upstairs bedroom where we thankfully have a small window air conditioner. My usual method of cooling the downstairs by opening everything up when it cools in the evening doesn't work when it's still over 90 degrees Fahrenheit at 10:30pm! So grateful the marine winds have returned (with gusty energy!) this afternoon & temps are already down to 85 degrees! Relief is coming! (& yes, my table is an ironing board...)
