Intrepid #pleinairwashingtonartists painting after

Intrepid #pleinairwashingtonartists painting after the sun went down Thursday night. We started just before sunset and ended in the dark!

I had an amazing evening at the PAWA show in Richland! Not only did I win my first-ever award, an honorable mention for "Surprise Whidbey Snow," but my favorite painting, "Rattlesnake Mountain Sunset," is going home with a wonderful collector! Thanks so much to @alliedartsgallery for hosting the event and @pleinairwashingtonartists for the opportunity!

My paintings are all hung up and ready for tonight's event! I took a sneak peek at the other paintings on display, and there is some amazing work from this week's #pawapaintout. Allied Arts Gallery at the Park in Richland at 5pm!

It poured rain this morning, so I hung out under a shelter at the park and painted some little Canada Goslings and their very annoyed Canada Goose Mom. 8x6 oil on linen. #pleinairwashingtonartists #pleinairpainting #pleinairpainter #pleinairartist #canadagoose

I had to race the setting sun to finish this #pleinairpainting of the Yakima River and Rattlesnake Mountain last evening. Thanks to the #pawapaintout organizers for scouting this amazing location, which is somehow just the driveway of a random water reclamation plant!?

Day 2 of the #pawapaintout in Eastern Washington;

Day 2 of the #pawapaintout in Eastern Washington; I drove down along the river to paint the Twin Sisters at the #wallulagap. Thankfully, there were no snakes, but I did get to meet a few other brave painters tackling the river and rocks!

In-progress shot of my first painting for this week's #pawapaintout with @alliedartsgallery in Richland! And somehow, I matched the tree trunks like a boss!

Day 2 of my #pleinairpainting class with @robinpau

Day 2 of my #pleinairpainting class with @robinpaulweiss. Working hard on value, especially pushing the Olympic Mountains back into the distance. It's so important to get all of those blue-purple distant layers to read correctly against the sky. 9x12 oil on linen. #pleinairpainter #pleinairartist #oilpainting #stradaeasel #edmonds #edmondswa #pleinairwashingtonartists

Day 1 of a challenging and inspiring #pleinairpain

Day 1 of a challenging and inspiring #pleinairpainting workshop with @robinpaulweiss through the #colegallery. Lots of great tips about atmospheric distance and values, which are critical in #landscapepainting. I also challenged myself with a 9x12 canvas, which felt so huge! By the end of the day, the painting was so-so, but hopefully the learning wasn't. The more you know, right? 🌟 #pleinairartist #pleinairpainter #stradaeasel #pleinairwashingtonartists

Final #pleinairpainting from last Friday's trip to #Roozengaarde. I always love the single tulips that sneak into another color's row throughout the farm. "Skagit Valley Ribbons," 8x6 oil on linen. #skagitvalley #skagitvalleytulipfestival #pleinairwashingtonartists #pleinairartist #pleinairpainter #stradaeasel #rosemarybrushes #gamblincolors #oilpainting #MountVernon #laconnerdaffodils

I painted this barn across a field of red tulips at the corner of Beaver Marsh and Calhoun Road in #MountVernon, just in case you want to check out the same view for yourself! 6x8 oil on linen.

I can't quite bring myself to title this one "Tiptoe through the Tulips," but...😆. On a painterly note, I believe this is the first time I've ever included people! 6x8 oil on linen. #pleinairpainting #pleinairartist #pleinairpainter #pleinairwashingtonartists #Roozengaarde #skagitvalleytulipfestival #skagitvalley #oilpainting #tulips #stradaeasel #rosemarybrushes #gamblincolors

Gorgeous day out at #Roozengaarde with the tulips. I took a solo trip up to #MountVernon so I could paint all day--good pictures of the paintings to follow.

Last painting of the trip--had to wait until I got

Last painting of the trip--had to wait until I got home to get a decent picture because the beach was too bright. This is the view across the #carmelriver on the leeward side of the park. The shore birds came and went in huge flocks the whole time I was painting. 6x8 oil on linen. #pleinairpainting #pleinairartist #pleinairpainter #oilpainting #stradaeasel #carmel #carmelbythesea #pleinairwashingtonartists

Of all the paintings I've done this week in Califo

Of all the paintings I've done this week in California, I'm most proud of this little 6x8 of the Big Sur River. It may not be a world-famous view like Point Lobos or Asilomar, but as a painter, facing the wall of green you can see in the last picture and turning it into a worthwhile painting was a huge win. 6x8 oil on linen. #pleinairpainting #pleinairartist #pleinairpainter #bigsur #bigsurriver #pleinairwashingtonartists #stradaeasel #rosemarybrushes #gamblincolors #oilpainting

Gorgeous day yesterday at Point Lobos. I got to talk to people from all over the world as I painted beside the trail, but no paint in the world could compete with the incredible view of Sand Hill Cove. 6x8 oil on linen. #pleinairpainting #pleinairwashingtonartists #pleinairpainter #pleinairartist #pointlobos #sandhillcove #stradaeasel #gamblincolors #rosemarybrushes #oilpainting

Golden hour at #asilomar with my trusty #stradaeasel. I fought the rocks for a long time--not sure if I won, but I gave it my best! 8x10 oil on linen.

Road trip! A little 6x8 oil on linen #pleinairpain

Road trip! A little 6x8 oil on linen #pleinairpainting of a beautiful sea arch in #santacruz, complete with sea birds and pounding surf. This was super fun to paint, even though I had to hunker down behind a log to avoid the sun and wind as best as I could. Huge props to the @debrahuseart brush set on #rosemarybrushes for pointing out my new rigger, really a flat-tipped sable sign painting brush. It made all the little bitty distant birds much easier to pull off! #pleinairwashingtonartists #oilpainting #stradaeasel #gamblincolors #mgraham

Amazing and gorgeous Fern Canyon hike this morning. Pretty challenging with constant creek crossings, but these kids tackled it without batting an eyelash.
