Umpqua River
Click Here to Bid (6x12in. - click image to enlarge!)
This is my second painting from the Umpqua River. I basically turned around right where I was (after the first one) and painted in the other direction. That's how beautiful it all was. I used the same purple ground, and again was very happy with the result. I left my third painting with the owners of the property.

Riverside
Click Here to Bid (8x8in.)
Last week I went to the Umpqua river with a couple of painting buddies. We had gotten permission to paint on some private property, without really seeing the whole thing first, and when we got there we were pleasantly surprised to find not only that no bush-whacking was required, but we had a private, (quiet) prime view of the river! I stood on a lovely little slice of bank to paint this, all by myself, in pure and total bliss.
On another note, I did try to get pictures of my palette to show that thing I mentioned...about the ordered palette. But I have to admit my ordering fell apart before I got too far, and therefore I abandoned my picture taking pretty quickly. (more on that soon)
On a whole other note, I painted the ground (underpainting) purple (with ultra blue and aliz crimsom, and mineral spirits) because of the dominance of green in the scene, and was quite pleased with the result.
