Fishing Party 12x12, I took the photo reference for this painting when the NWWS Plein Air group was at Luther Burbank Park.
Our family sort of adopted the grey heron as our symbol over the years. There have been funny incidents like one pooped on Emory at the Ballard locks when we were on our first house hunting trip to Seattle and Lydia’s Zoology big sister gave her a paddle with a heron painted on it. We would spot them at pivital moments and take it as a reminder to be patient but hopeful too. We saw them fairly regularly in MI during the summers. Now that we live on a lake in the PNW we get to see them frequently year round. I am enjoying my year of focusing on painting flowers but I think next year will be animals and there will will be a lot of herons. Do you or your family have a symbol or spirit animal of sorts?

Painted this one a little while back but thought the flowers were a bit washed out compared to the vibrant background. I added a bit of permanent rose to bring them forward. This the direction I want to go, pushing color and feeling the warm glow.

Yesterday the NWWS Plein Air group met at Luther Burbank Park. I walked around a bit because I had never been there. It is lovely but beyond the hanging baskets there aren’t many flowers this time of year. Because my passions also include pickleball I decided to sketch their courts and another observer. I witnessed some great shots and met some very kind people. All the nets fences and movement was daunting but it felt good to stretch my comfort zone a bit too. Oh, and of course I saw a heron hanging out with the fisherman on the dock. Scroll to see the one not quite like the others 😊

This is a closeup of a second Nucor Steel Plant painting. My plein air group was invited on a special tour of the plant so we could take reference photos and we will have an exhibit in September.

Pink Geraniums 12x12. Thinking about darkening the background a bit more but I am delighted that I got the glow I was shooting for. So happy that the Smokey air quality is improving. Hope you all have a great weekend!
