Today I had the opportunity to again paint with the PAAWM at the Pierce Cedar Creek Institute. The institute is a beautiful facility for environmental education. It is also a great place to paint in any season with streams, wildlife, trails, and diverse habitats and land forms. Today was predicted to be cloudy and snowy, but to my surprise, just the opposite happened. My first painting, oil on a linen panel, was a challenge in simplification and painting that beautiful scene on a small 8x10. I had not planned on doing a second painting, but when looking at the creek from a different viewpoint, I loved how intense the colors were in the afternoon light and did a very quick study, also 8x10. I might even do a studio painting from this one.
