JERILYN'S FARM

12X16 oil. Tuesday painters were invited to paint at Jerilyn's farm And what a treat. As well as being so very welcoming and delightful, she served us coffee on a tray, with a cloth, in the barn. We are going back next week and actually have been invited to paint whenever we would like to.
My painting was done almost exclusively, with a palette knife.

KUENER'S IN SPRING?

16x20 oil. This is based on an Andrew Wyeth's painting at Kuerner's imagining how it might have looked in early spring.

LOW, LOW TIDE AT PORT BLAKELY

12X16 oil. Another lovely sunny day. It is hard to imagine that 3 masted schooners were built in this harbor in 1881. In the next 22 years 77 vessels were built and the Hall Brothers employed  50-70 men with payrolls amounting to more than $10,000 per month. There is a small holding pool behind the walls on the right side of my painting. At high tide lumber could be floated into the harbor and kept in the holding pond until needed.

LOW ,LOW TIDE AT FAY BAINBRIDGE

12X16 oil. Sunshine at last. This was an extra special painting day because Simon, my grandson from Virginia came painting with me.
