Mt. Rainier 14"x11" Oil on panel plein air
Luckily I caught the weather to make this sketch over a two day period. We've had our stretch of no-rain, but the fires all over Washington State have caused a huge atmospheric haze, blurring any views. This painting will be used as a reference for a larger, self-portrait painting in which I am looking out a window at this view. I am very excited to have Mt. Rainier at my eye level!
Below is a picture of me painting this picture. While I was working, a professional photographer named, Virginia Jamieson, stopped by to check things out. She took this picture of me as I was beginning the painting. Virginia has a facebook page under Nature's Soul Photography. Her website is www.naturessoulphotography.
