Demonstration Painting-Into the Gorge

From the benefit for Basic Rights Oregon last Saturday.

Nocturne

Fancy word eh? sounds French or something :) This is new, and I`ll have it with me tonight as I do a demonstration painting to be auctioned in support of Basic Rights Oregon, our local champion for equality for the GLBT community. This is their big fundraiser extravaganza and I`m part of the entertainment.

Shallows

Another new work! Slowly, I`m getting my stride back.

Wind

New Work! it`s only 12"x12" but it`s the largest painting I`ve completed since June.

Oaks Bottom-Moonlight

Watercolorists who use a butcher`s tray for a palette will have noticed as they mix their colors, spectacular things happening on the tray. Painting on Yupo is similar. Quite often it`s best to just get out of the way.

Oaks Bottom 5

Oaks Bottom 4

Yesterday I was able to walk out into it [Oaks Bottom] for the first time this year. The lake never did entirely disappear.
