Interesting way for one to "make a mark". Since 2008, artists at have inscribed their names and contact information on this portion of the wall at Macfarlane Artist Studio. Today, my last day, I did the same.

Mixing colors is never easy. A particularly challenging task is matching the color & value of sky reflected in water - especially when painting from life. Here, I'm painting a close-up of a tide pools - it's almost a still life. And yet, my every head movement yields a slightly differently colored reflection. Here, I describe mixing white, cadmium orange, ultramarine blue ("beyond the sea" being it's literal translation). The results are a rich warm brown or a cool gray - depending on the recipe.

Painting the Pacific Northwest coast of San Juan Island amidst - after a feverish 75 minutes of blocking in composition, shapes, values & colors; I'm taking a break to let my oil paint tack up. And waiting for the light to return - even as I'm aware how quickly & how much the light changed from the sun glare of early morning. I'll paint in the foliage - and maybe refine a bit before lunch. Maybe I'm do a study of the soft waves & interplay of light, rock & water.
