Plein Air & "New Landscapes"

                                                     Edge of the Orchard watercolor 12x9


 Painted on the 4th of July with Jean Gale who did her first yupo watercolor! It was a cool cloudy summer day. Like they used to be. So far it`s been a sweet season; no oppressive temperatures, no smoke from forest fires, no series of teenage boys drowning in our frigid rivers, and the air quality has been great! An embarrassment of riches. I`ve felt really lucky especially after reading Phoenix reached 120 degrees last week.

 Below are the nineteen paintings in my "New Landscapes" exhibit at the Coos Art Museum in Coos Bay Oregon. It runs from July 9th through Oct.1st.

Randall,

I can't choose! They all remind me of something to do with what I love about being outside and in particular, my interest in creek spaces. Though I have to admit that the Oneanta piece is my favorite. You captured a real and serious stillness between those rock walls. I imagine a silence and a feeling of being comforted by that landscape, if that makes sense.

Good luck with the exhibit. I hope you take some photos to share.

And glad that things are quiet up in your direction. It's been nothing but nonsense with random fires in our area.

What a grand show!!!! Do you spray seal your watercolor on yupo pieces?

Beautiful show, hope you sell every one.

But oh, that wee blue spot, pulling me closer to some dark orchard secrets. That would be my purchase.

Hi Randall,
The show line-up looks great. I have a feeling the museum should have lots of red dots available.
Hope it all goes well and you have a sales and fun. Please get some photos so we can get a sense of the scale of those large and spectacular paintings.
Enjoy your weekend.
Sincerely,
Gary
