Excuses

I have several pretty good excuses why I am behind posting for the Shasta.  I was out of town for the Marceline Plein Air for Oil Painters of America (OPA) event last weekend.  This weekend I had the Brush Creek Plein Air event.  So….here is my proof!

This is some kind of an old coal storage unit for the railroad.  It is on the list of historic buildings.  I have painted it twice, but this time I was fortunate to sell the work.

This is the only photo I have of the painting.  I should have photographed it better before I let it go.  The blue taped edge was pulled off to show natural wood.  I was very pleased with it.

This was a painter for the Brush Creek event.  He was the subject for several artist.  I was set up to paint the scene, and had my notan done before he arrived.  So I chose to leave him out.  

Minus the canoe.

This was my three paintings I did.  I only took two frames, but had time to do a third one.  Thus the black clip holding the painting of the truck.  It was a pleasant day with friends.  And to ice the cake, I sold one.

The day was perfect for plein air.  

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Derald was stripping paint off the exterior.  The trailer really looks great just plain aluminum.  

You can see the shadow of the wing.  Looks are deceiving on this picture,  she really is small!
