Mt Washington Plein-Air Sketches
“Alpine Meadow Mist”
10” x 13.5
Oil Sketch
One of several studies completed during a group paint-out at Mt Washington this August, focusing on the early morning, dew covered meadow. The trick is to get setup before the sunlight streaks across, knowing you only have moments to capture the cast shadows. I did this 3 mornings in a row, each time my color palette was different. Must have been the amount of sugar in my coffee!
“Moonrise over Albert Edward”
13” x 19”
Oil Sketch
Another early morning set-up caught the moon still visible over a popular hiking peak “Albert Edward.” I’ve painted this mountain scene before and was delighted to have an observer identify the peak’s name. The purplish blue shadows were so intense; it was a challenge to find just the right hue.
“Bill and Coo”
4” x 8”
Engraving
The Vancouver Island photographer, Toby Snelgrove, took a photo that appeared in a recent issue of Island Tides. His capture of the two pigeons provided the inspiration for this etching.
