This is a beautiful field near where I live and have been looking at it for a couple of summers now and finally got to working on some of the trees there. I can't say it will be my last trip there because I think there is more there. This is an 18 by 26 inch pastel which I enjoyed doing.
Oak Island. I went out to Sauvie Island today to do some painting and it was great with all the fall colors. Might get a couple more days of sun until we get a week of rain.
Umpqua Plein air event. I painted at the North Umpqua river and entered this one in their show. they had many good painters there. Although pretty hot . I left early but should be a great show from Sept 13 - October 24 In Roseburg Oregon.

Went to the Astoria Open studios gallery. Some nice landscapes up there and a sunny day. These in this picture I think are a Robert Paulmenn.

Oh I did get an Honorable mention at the Yamhill Lavender Festival this year which was a surprise because of all the other great artists that participated this year. So that was nice and encouraging.
Started a plein air but think i will go back into it and see what comes of it. If I'm going do to these layering ones I'll have to do more than one at a time. Well I guess they have a site called 3 at a time so that makes sense. I have to go get a new Pochade box. A bigger one since i have an appetite for bigger work.

took another pass at this one this morning. Might go out again in the morning. Can't stay all day. It's a bit hot for me.
