	Adirondack Mountain Painters: A Peaceful evening at this NY Adirondack park. A dog and it's owner stopped to visit and told me about all the other painters who have painted this spot over the years.
	230: Heaven Hills Farm - and it was Heaven Painting here!		Plein Air, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Heaven Hills Farm, Lake Placid, New York, USA		22-Jun-12
	Adirondack Mountain Painters: There were so many gorgeous painting spots at this farm - it took forever to pick one! The roses captured my eye and offered a nice counterpoint to the mountains.
	234: A Bit of Light in Sandstone Canyon		Studio, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 12"
	Spring Mountain State Park in Red Rock Canyon Conservatory, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA		7-Jul-12
	Lisa Faulkner-Wright, Bridgette Turner, Karen LeValley and I decided to return to paint Bonnie Springs one more time before I left Las Vegas. A sunny afternoon turned into a torrential downpour (I used grocery bags as a rain coat). Suddenly, the clouds opened and a small spot of sun gloriously highlighted the canyon floor, trees, water and reeds and made it all worthwhile! My memory was so strong of this painting event, I decided to re-visit it in a larger format.
	235: Sun kissed Cliffs at The Golden Gate Bridge		Plein Air, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Lands End Trail, San Francisco, California, USA		17-Jul-12
	Intent on painting the Golden Gate bridge, I set up my easel along the edge of the trail which gave me a great view of the late afternoon sun on the bridge. I glanced back towards the lowering sun and saw the light hit the cliffs and forgot all about the bridge.
	236: Reflections on the Cuyahoga River		Plein Air, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Deep Lock Quarry, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Peninsula, Ohio, USA		22-Aug-12
	After a full day of painting with OPAS artist Doreen St. John, I stopped to do a small hike to the river. The evening sun highlighted this railroad bridge and the reflections in the calm water enticed me to do one more painting before heading home. It was so quiet that a small black mink crawled out of the water about 6 feet from me. He posed for a while and then strolled by me to the taller grasses along the bank.
	247: Sentry of the Wash		Alla Prima Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Sabino Canyon, Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.310287, W-110.820321		22-Jan-13
	I met TPAPS members Peggy Marlatt and Kathy Willis this afternoon. We decided to paint along the pathway to Bear Canyon. The afternoon light and shadows attracted my eye to the Mesquite tree at the edge of the wash.
	248: Sunshine Lights Sabino Stop 6		Plein Air, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Sabino Canyon, Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.330129, W-110.794311		1-Feb-13
	I and TPAPS members, Laura Williams and Kathy Willis, got rained out one morning at this site. The next week I returned on a cloudless morning and loved the play of sunshine and shadows on the 2 sides of the canyon.
	253: The Blessing of the Palo Verde's Shade		Plein Air, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Tucson Mountain Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.206396, W-111.125364		7-Feb-13
	Saguaro cactus are found exclusively in the Sonoran Desert. Tiny, young saguaros are very hard to find, as they grow under the protection of a "nurse tree," most often a palo verde.
	258: Morning Shadows in the Wash		Plein Air, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Tucson Mountain Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.278566, W-111.025881		23-Feb-13
	A chilly, but sunny, morning produced great shadows in this small canyon wash near the Desert Museum.
	259: Every Which Way but Up		Plein Air, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 11" x 14"
	Saguaro National Park West, Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.261676, W-111.211000		23-Feb-13
	Repeated freezing weather weakens the tops of the Saguaro arms, causing them to fall or droop. This particular cactus caught my eye due to the unusual positioning of all of it's arms.
	260: A Cacti Forest		Plein Air, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Saguaro National Park West, Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.268530, W-111.215811		25-Feb-13
	There are very few places in the world where Saguaro cacti thrive - Tucson is one of them. It can be amazing to see the hills totally covered with this unique desert plant.
	261: Chasing the Moon		Plein Air, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	John F. Kennedy Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.182926, W-111.014690		25-Feb-13
	Dave calibrated the best day and time to capture both the rising moon and setting sun reflections of the Catalina Mtns to take a photo. I went along, and painted this in 65 minutes - long before the moon came up!
	265: Gneiss Boulders along Sabino Creek		Plein Air, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Sabino Canyon, Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.326502, W-110.803249		28-Feb-13
	The gneiss boulders crashed down the side of the canyon as a result of an earthquake in 1887 in Mexico. The unique striations in these large rocks almost seem out of place in the creek bed landscape.
	267: Sun Coming Over Cat Mountain		Plein Air, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Sarasota Trailhead, Tucson Mountain Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.190535, W-111.075612		2-Mar-13
	I had intended to paint the sunrise this morning - but with no clouds to add to the view, I flipped around and caught the sun as it highlighted the mountain. Award: 2013 Oil Painters of America Salon
	268: The Promise		Studio, Technique Mixte, Oil on Canvas, 48" x 24"
	Studio, Dublin, Ohio, USA, 40.1344299, -83.1037979		25-Mar-13
	My niece's wedding bouquet reflects Chris and Jake's life together: vivid, lively, and unique with a couple of thorny spots. The Technique Mixte methodology dates back to the dutch masters Hubert & Jan van Eyck where multiple layers og glazes are applied to a complete value study. Egg temerpera is replaced in the glazing medium with Methyl Cellulose, which doesnt decay. and provides great luminousity to the painting.
	270: Headcove Bay, Point Lobos		Alla Prima Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Point Lobos State Reserve, Monterey, California, USA, N36.5210457, W-121.9515915		9-Apr-13
	This park is on a peninsula that offers spectacular views no matter which way you look! Today, a breezy but sunny morning, it was filled with many plein air painters who arrived early for the Plein Air Convention.
	271: A Lupine Spring at Fort Ord National Monument		Alla Prima Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Ford Ord National Monument, Monterey, California, USA, N36.5844154, W-121.7139511		9-Apr-13
	Monterey Bay Plein Air Painters Suzanne Elliott and Michele LaMontagne Hausman picked me up to take me one of their favorite spot where the spring lupine was very plentiful. A great afternoon.
	273: The Slot, Point Lobos		Alla Prima Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Point Lobos State Reserve, Monterey, California, USA, N36.5138168, W-121.9456863		14-Apr-13
	On my last morning in Monterey I chose to spend it at Point Lobos - one of the most beautiful places to paint!
	274: Windswept Edge		Alla Prima Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Stillwater Cove Regional Park, Jenner, California, USA, N38.5515671, W-123.3051758		15-Apr-13
	No cell service, no electricity but the views at this small park were well worth the isolation. Driving Route 1 North of San Francisco was nerve racking but spectacular. I had to stop when my fingers were so cold I couldn't hold the brush.
	275: Russian River in Alexander Valley		Alla Prima Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Alexander Valley Campground, Healdsburg, California, USA, N38.6588135, W-122.8331985		16-Apr-13
	Looking for electricity and internet brought us to this delightful valley filled with vineyards every which way one looks. Definitely vintage Sonoma County!
	276: Stryker Vineyard		Alla Prima Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Alexander Valley Rd, Healdsburg, California, USA, N38.6817513, W-122.8390732		16-Apr-13
	We went to a wine tasting at the Coppola Vineyard and I needed a quick nap before I went out and painted late in the day. Although it was windy and I had to hold the canvas and the easel all the time - it was a beautiful scene.
	277: Boy Scout Trailhead in Jedediah Smith State Park		Alla Prima Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 11" x 14"
	Jedediah Smith State Park, Crescent City, California, USA, N41.768604, W-124.110130		17-Apr-13
	In the midst of the giant Redwood trees, I found it challenging to find a way to show how large they are. So I decided to paint the part of the trees that I could see in my field of vision - the huge trunks.
	281: Multnomah Falls		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 8" x 12"
	Columbia River Gorge National Park, Portland, Oregon, USA, N45.5773277, W-122.1160431		24-Apr-13
	I learned an important lesson for plein air painting - come prepared for anything. We headed out to see the iconic falls in the Gorge and it was impossible not to want to paint it! Unfortunately, the falls is soooo tall that I didn't have a corresponding canvas that I could replicate the height. The painter's "photoshop" allowed me to make it shorter, but I think I still managed to portray the spectacular falls.
	282: Mount Hood and Jantzen Beach Harbor		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Route 5 Top of the Bridge, Jantzen Beach, Portland, Oregon, USA, N45.6075974, W-122.6811600		25-Apr-13
	As we went over the bridge to exit Route 5 to our Portland destination there was a great view of Mount Hood and the harbor. A few days later, I put my paint backpack on and hopped on my bicycle to cycle the mile to the top of the bridge on the bike path. For security, I chained the bike to the bridge railing and had a perfect spot to paint. Of course, I had lots of lookers - walkers, cyclists and passengers in cars creeping along in rush hour traffic. My first top of the bridge painting!
	283: More Than Boats Float Here		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Island Cove Floating Home Community, Lotus Isle City Park, Janzen Beach, Portland, Oregon, USA, N45.6075592, W-122.6739578		26-Apr-13
	Taking a walk early one morning, I found this delightful small city park beside the harbor. The unusually sunny morning provided a spotlight on these three houseboats and delightful reflections on the still water.
	286: Parry Bay		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Duke Rd, Metchosin, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, N48.3875427, W-123.5038300		5-May-13
	Victoria's Al Fresco Ken Faulks took me, Desiree Bond and Jim McFarland to a beautiful cove where his aunt and uncle used to live. We were delightfully entertained by leaping harbor seals smacking their fins on the surface, noisy sea lions, Canadian Geese and their new babies, and lots of other birds I didn't recognize. As a parting gift, Jim gave me his painting - painted about 6 feet from me.
	289: #701		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Pacific Rim National Park, Tofino, British Columbia, Canada, N49.0737915, W-125.7856903		8-May-13
	While I was painting the beach this morning a surfing teacher stopped to chat. She recommended that we hike through the woods to Schooner Cove. "The trees are spectacular", she said. She was right!
	290: Reflections on Green Lake		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Green Lake, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, N50.1514778, W-122.9442673		10-May-13
	During dinner, I caught a glimpse of this mountain as the setting sun lit it up, so we left the dishes and dashed back to down the road to find an opening in the trees to photograph it. We also found nice reflections of it on Green Lake in a turn out along the road. I came back the next morning to paint the same spot. This time, the sun warmed up the trees.
	291: Rain or Snow Up There?		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Hudson Bay Mountains and Kathryn Lake, Smithers, British Columbia, Canada, N54.8242607, W-127.1898880		12-May-13
	Four years ago, I painted these mountains from our campsite. This time, thanks to the Glacier View Campground owner, I had an even better view that included the lake and a farm at the Smithers airport. It was a drizzly day but suddenly it seemed as if it was snowing - even though it was too warm. Thousands of little white bugs were flying through the air and a few crashed into my painting.
	293: Zymacord River Bridge		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Yellowhead Highway 16, Terrace, British Columbia, Canada, N54.4872780, W-128.7321472		14-May-13
	I love these long days filled with light until 10:00pm! I headed out around 5:00 on the Yellowhead Highway. About 6 miles from Terrace, I found this wonderful view of a railroad bridge and the reflections of it on the Zymacord River.
	294: The Tool Shack		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada, N54.4872780, W-130.2583160		16-May-13
	I headed out for an early morning painting and was about 2 miles from the campground when I saw the light peaking through a dark cloud on my right. There was a short narrow hill leading down to the water so I backed up and went down to a small parking lot with a boat ramp. As I set up, I realized that I had painted there 4 years ago. For more details about this morning, go to my blog, "A Morning for my Mom".
	295: Yellowhead Highway by the Skeena River		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 8"
	Yellowhead Highway 16, Aberdeen Point, Port Edward, British Columbia, Canada, N54.2232819, W-129.8913574		16-May-13
	The Skeena River is the second longest river in BC and is an important transportation artery, particularly for the Tsimshian and the Gitxsan—whose names mean "inside the Skeena River" and "people of the Skeena River" respectively. Wednesday, we drove the 60km from Terrace to Prince Rupert in the rain. It is a spectacular drive, but was so socked in we couldn't see the mountains. Thursday afternoon, with a break in the weather, I drove back about 20 miles and painted this scene at a small pull out. A light rain developed, so I backed my car up to the easel and used the back hatch as my umbrella. It worked great!
	296: Fishing at Clover Pass		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Clover Pass RV Resort, Ketchikan, Alaska, USA, N55.4735336, W-131.8139648		20-May-13
	After a few rainy days, I was thrilled to wake up to a cool but partly sunny morning. I had been thinking abut this composition since we arrived and was glad to finally "get to it".
	297: Lunch Creek Bridge		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Settlers Cove State Recreations Site, Ketchikan, Alaska, USA, N55.5116882, W-131.7238464		20-May-13
	While I was completing my Clover Pass painting, our traveling companions went to hike the Lunch Creek Trail. When they returned, they declared that I "Had to go paint the falls." We got there late enough in the day, that I quickly lost the light on the water - but it was still a beautiful spot.
	298: Creek Street Row		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Creek Street, Ketchikan, Alaska, USA, N55.3423729, W-131.6415558		21-May-13
	I was told that Tuesday was a "light cruise day" so one of the top tourist destinations, Creek Street, would not be as crowded. Tourists and shop owners alike talked about how great the weather was!
	299: Sunset on Clover Pass		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Clover Pass RV Resort, Ketchikan, Alaska, USA, N55.4736099, W-131.8140717		22-May-13
	We had a great day touring Misty Fjords National Monument and stopped for dinner a few miles from home. As we came out of the restaurant, we saw one of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever seen. We raced home and I grabbed my paints and tried to capture the essence of it before it got completely dark. I pulled out a clip-on light to finish it.
	300: Lookout Point		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Tongass Highway, Ketchikan, Alaska, USA, N55.4529724, W-131.820294		23-May-13
	Many people stopped to chat while I was painting at this turnout. Each referred to this spot as the "Lookout" but all had different names for what we were seeing - Chimely Sound, Vallenar Point, Skin Island and 20 Fathom Bank were just a few. Regardless, it sure was a pretty spot!
	301: View from Shoemaker Bay Campground		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Shoemaker Bay, Wrangell, Alaska, USA, N56.4190331, W-132.3520508		26-May-13
	Following a great day exploring the Stikine River, I set up to paint our view of Zimovia Strait from our campground.
	302: Morning View of the Zimovia Strait		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Zimovia Highway, Wrangell, Alaska, USA, N56.3922882, W-132.3472137		27-May-13
	Like Ketchikan, Wrangell is in the midst of a King Salmon Derby. There were many boats that motored by this early morning. What the fishermen didn't know is that I could hear their conversations - which tended to be, "Catch anything?" and "Where you headed next?"
	303: Pats Lake		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Road 6259, Wrangell, Alaska, USA, N56.3499680, W-132.3399811		27-May-13
	We were told that we needed a truck to drive up to Middle Ridge Cabin. So I joined Terry & Sue on this pretty morning. One of the spots we passed, shortly after leaving the highway was Pats Lake. I returned in the afternoon to paint it as the sun highlighted the far bank.
	304: Three Sisters Overlook		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 8"
	Wrangell, Alaska, USA, N56.2933807, W-132.3474274		28-May-13
	Our traveling companions, Terry & Sue, have become my painting site scouts. This morning, they returned to tell me I had to go paint at this lookout before we left on the ferry that evening. It was a great view of the whole Zimovia Strait.
	306: Lupine by the Highway		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Mitkof Highway, Petersburg, Alaska, USA, N56.6303864, W-132.8792267		30-May-13
	It was a foggy morning but at about 13.5 mile on the Mitkof Highway there was a thriving patch of Lupine on the side of the road. There was also a short turn off, which made a safe place to park.
	309: Rainy Day Paintout		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Blind Slough Recreation Area, Petersburg, Alaska, USA, N56.6141663, W-132.8194275		1-Jun-13
	Don Cornelius organized a paintout and picnic for us on our final day in Petersburg. Although we painted through a steady rain, it was great to meet the 5 Petersburg painters and their spouses - and one dog.
	310: Heading Out		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Sealing Cove Harbor, Sitka, Alaska, USA, N57.0488968, W-135.3486938		3-Jun-13
	Sitka manages a parking lot for RVs at the Sealing Cove harbor. With no amenities other than electricity and water, it still is a fun place to stay. Parked along the harbor, we can watch all the boat activity in front of us and cross the street to have a great view of the bridge and city. Of course, there are little islands and mountains in every direction!
	311: Harbor Lights		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Sealing Cove Harbor, Sitka, Alaska, USA, N57.0490685, W-135.3495026		5-Jun-13
	Our RV is parked at the edge of the Sealing Cove Harbor and each night I've enjoyed how the intense colors of the harbor lights transform the boats. So tonight I pre-mixed my paints, gathered up my rain gear (a necessity here in Sitka) and 2 clip on lights to try a nocturnal.
	312: Sitka from Japonski Island		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	University of Alaska Southeast, Sitka, Alaska, USA, N57.0504951, W-135.3480072		6-Jun-13
	It has rained every day in Sitka since we arrived. I pulled on my rain gear and headed out during a break in the raindrops. Just made it back to the RV before another downpour!
	313: No Grass to Mow		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 8"
	Japonski Island, Sitka, Alaska, USA, N57.0457611, W-135.3466492		7-Jun-13
	The O'Connell Bridge connects Japonski Island with the rest of Sitka and is an iconic image of the Sitka harbor. Even float planes head out under it. This unique house has a great view but some obvious logistic issues for visitors.
	314: View from Thane		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	South of Juneau, Juneau, Alaska, USA, N58.2620049, W-134.3314667		9-Jun-13
	Eight Plein Rein Painters from Juneau joined me on a gorgeous day south of town. The tide was out and there was a large tidal flat that had interesting pockets of water and vegetation. There was also a prospector digging in the sand where the old mine dock used to be. A delightful day!
	315: Twilight at a Beaver Pond		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Mendenhall Campground, Juneau, Alaska, USA, N58.4129181, W-134.5829163		9-Jun-13
	We are staying at the Mendenhall Campground in the National Park. The campground boarders the glacier lake on one side and is filled with many beaver ponds, of which this is one. While I was painting at dusk, 2 beavers were quite active - one was swimming with tree branches across the water to add to their nest on a small island. The other beaver seemed to like to play with the campers - it would consistently swim about 20 ft from shore when people walked on the low bridge, smack it's tail a few times and then dive.
	316: Morning Fog at Mendenhall Glacier		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 8"
	Skaters Cabin, Mendenhall National Park, Juneau, Alaska, USA, N58.4145432, W-134.5917358		10-Jun-13
	Cristine Crooks, one of the Plein Rein Painters, joined me early this morning at Skaters Cabin, across the way from Mendenhall Glacier. When we arrived, there was a beautiful layer of fog on the lake and a haziness in the mountains as the sun light up just the tips of the mountains and glacier. Cristine declared, "It was a perfect summer day at the glacier!" I agreed.
	317: Morning at Auke Lake		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Chapel on the Lake, University of Alaska Southeast, Juneau, Alaska, USA, N58.3837585, W-134.6357727		11-Jun-13
	I painted here 4 years ago and decided to try it again - but from a slightly different vantage point. Again, another spectacular day in Juneau - evidently the highest temp in 5 years!
	318: Auke Village Bay		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 8"
	Auke Village State Recreation, Juneau, Alaska, USA, N58.3771477, W-134.7255096		11-Jun-13
	Cristine Crooks met me at this beautiful bay on a delightful evening. We each brought something to share for dinner and Dave cycled out to join us. Cristine was amazed that the beach was empty - "I can't believe that there aren't more people here on this warm, clear evening!" Unfortunately, the only other group there began to shoot off fireworks (big ones) shortly after we started painting.
	319: View from the Tram		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Juneau, Alaska, USA, N58.2966003, W-134.3868866		12-Jun-13
	Along with Dave, Terry & Sue, we took the tram to the top of Mt. Roberts. The view was pretty spectacular and I got to chat with lots of cruise ship visitors as I painted.
	320: Eagle Creek Wild Flowers		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Eagle Creek State Recreation, Juneau, Alaska, USA, N58.5271835, W-134.8180542		14-Jun-13
	Our last day in Juneau, I headed "out the road" - which means North of Mendenhall Glacier - to a beautiful state park where two glacier rivers join the sea. Except for the park ranger, I was the only one there which made for a peaceful morning. I recognized the lupine, and asked the ranger the names of the yellow and magenta flowers. "Darn," he said, "I know these flowers but as soon as you asked me I forgot their names!" Since that happens to me all the time, we agreed that I would just title this Eagle Creek Wild Flowers. Painting under a grove of evergreen trees added some deep shadows in the foreground but I'm not as happy with the results - I'll revisit this in the studio.
	321: Pyramid Island on the Chikat River		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	River Drive, Haines, Alaska, USA, N59.2192726, W-135.4529419		15-Jun-13
	Two hours after arriving in Haines by ferry, I was painting with Donna Catotti, Tia Heywood and Bev Schupp along the Chilkat River. In the low 90's, this was one of the hottest days that Haines has experienced in quite a while but at least there was a breeze to give some relief.

	River Drive, Haines, Alaska, USA, N59.2199898, W-135.4536743		16-Jun-13
	Donna Catotti and Bev Schupp wanted to return to the same spot we painted yesterday. Today, we arrived at high tide and I was interested in the patterns of grass and water on the flats. I remained on the road to add the wild roses growing along the edge - in fact there are wild roses blooming all over this peninsula! The Chikat River is fed by many glaciers which makes the water a pale yellow ochre when clouds fill the sky.
	324: The Haines Cannery		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Mud Road, Haines, Alaska, USA, N59.1817932, W-135.4000244		19-Jun-13
	On the way to last painting spot, we passed this cannery which caught my eye in the morning sun. I returned early the next morning to paint the scene before we departed. Bev Schupp showed up as well - she said that "it called to her, too." The rain clouds blew out and left a beautiful sky and lights reflecting on the buildings and trees.
	325: Welcome to Haines Junction		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Pine Lake, Haines Junction, Yukon, Canada, N60.7378998, W-137.4450226		20-Jun-13
	Early morning, I took off to paint the well known Kathleen Lake in the National Park. Unfortunately, the farther out of town I went, the more socked in the sky was. So I turned around and found a great view of the village - right at the Welcome sign!
	327: Valdez Mud Flats		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Richardson Highway, Valdez, Alaska, USA, N61.1380997, W-146.3290863		22-Jun-13
	We arrived into Valdez early in the afternoon. Artist Faith Revell stopped by to introduce herself and we set a time to paint later that night - since it stays light until almost 11:30pm. So, I headed a 1/4 mile back down the road to paint the mud flats I saw when we came in before our paint date. There were many distractions - a very dusty and noisy spot due to road construction and a dive bombing gull kept flying close to my hat. I would like to paint this at high tide, perhaps I could re-visit this in the studio.
	328: Shadows on Mineral Creek		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Bridge to Nowhere, Valdez, Alaska, USA, N61.1335411, W-146.3883362		22-Jun-13
	This tributary had lots of debris at the head waters which added interesting elements in the distance. I painted with Faith Revell and she informed me that a brown bear and her 2 cubs were frequently seen here. So we parked our cars in a "V" and painted in between them. I liked how the lowering sun produced long shadows on the glacier water from the shoreline trees.
	329: Valdez Harbor		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Old Town, Valdez, Alaska, USA, N61.1145515, W-146.2700500		23-Jun-13
	Because it was pretty foggy, I and artist Faith Revell decided to head to the Old town of Valdez early in the morning - Faith thought we could find something to paint there. When we arrived, there was a navy and brilliant yellow boat that "shouted out" brilliant color compared to everything else in the harbor. We both decided to paint it.
	330: Old Town Main Street		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Old Town, Valdez, Alaska, USA, N61.1148262, W-146.2691040		23-Jun-13
	In 1964 Valdez experienced a devastating 9.2 earthquake and tsunami. The town was condemned when it was discovered that it was built on unstable ground and relocated to it's present location. Looking back from the shore, one sees what used to be main street and a few intersecting streets. This was my second painting for the day and there was an unusually high tide - causing me to move my car and easel farther up the path as tide water covered the old street.
	332: Road Trip on the Glenn Highway		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Glacier View RV Park, Glenn Highway, mm 111, Glacier View, Alaska, USA, N61.8032074, W-147.5466003		26-Jun-13
	Camping nearby, I got up early in the morning to chase down a view of the Matanuska glacier and Chugach mountains. I didn't realize until I was done, the unusual shape of the small mountain in the foreground - which is called Lion's Head, is a famous landmark along the Glenn Highway. You can see just a bit of the glacier behind it.
	335: Morning Glow at Matanuska Glacier		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Matanuska Glacier State Park, Glacier View, Alaska, USA, N61.7994232, W-147.8153534		28-Jun-13
	A painting from the Great Alaskan Plein Air Retreat. Kurt Jacobson, Jan Sanders Stitt and I decided to leave at 6:00am to catch better light. Although a cloudy day, we were thrilled to see the glacier colors reflecting back up in the sky.
	336: Glacier Cliffs		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Matanuska Glacier State Park, Glacier View, Alaska, USA, N61.7991295, W-147.8147125		28-Jun-13
	A painting from the Great Alaskan Plein Air Retreat. After finishing the glacier painting, my next attempt was to capture the cliffs left from the retreating glacier. They were very cool in color and somewhat stark against the evergreen covered mountain.
	338: Palmer Flats		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Pioneer Ridge B & B, Wasilla, Alaska, USA, N61.558126, W-149.349711		29-Jun-13
	A painting from the Great Alaskan Plein Air Retreat. Although we did travel through the Mat-Su valley each day of the retreat, there was a pretty spectacular view right from the B & B where we met every morning and evening. This afternoon, it was very cloudy but the clouds were breaking up by the time I was finished with the painting.
	339: Beauty and the Boats		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Homer Spit, Homer, Alaska, USA, N59.6702347, W-151.5117493		2-Jul-13
	Early in the morning, I decided to walk the spit and was delighted to find lupine lining the sidewalk. It made a nice counterpoint to the derelict boats between the walkway and the shore.
	341: Exit Glacier		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 10"
	Exit Glacier viewing area, Seward, Alaska, USA, N60.1839600, W-149.6327784		8-Jul-13
	I headed out to Exit Glacier with our visiting son, Ben for the afternoon. While I hiked to the viewing area to paint he climbed and ran back down the trails. A fun afternoon for both of us!
	344: View of Seward		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Miller's Landing, Seward, Alaska, USA, N60.0710449, W-149.4358673		11-Jul-13
	My husband and son spent the day on a fishing trip while I got to paint with a local artist. I headed out to pick them up early and loved the view of Seward harbor. I finished it just as their boat came in - with 13 salmon, bass, and rockfish.
	347: Explorer Glacier		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Chugach State Park, Portage Creek, Whittier, Alaska, USA, N60.8005676, W-148.9193573		14-Jul-13
	We stopped to visit this spot on our way to Whittier. I returned later in the day and loved the late evening highlights at the top of the glacier.
	348: Painting Under Fire at Mud Lake		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Mud Lake, Palmer, Alaska, USA, N61.5652924, W-148.9467773		18-Jul-13
	Ben & I headed out to find a hiking/painting spot. We found a great place with hiking trials and a view of a lake about 5 miles from our campsite. What we didn't know is that there was a makeshift shooting range right across the road. Locals were shooting firearms and tannerite which was very noisy! Ben introduced himself to the group and even got to fire one of the guns while I jumped with every explosion.
	350: Matanuska Valley		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Mile Marker 95 Glenn Highway, Glacier View, Alaska, USA, N61.7963448, W-147.9737549		25-Nov-13
	While my husband and visiting son went whitewater rafting, I stopped at a close by viewpoint of the glacier valley to paint this delightful valley. I only had time to complete a sketch, take some photos and finish the underpainting. This was completed, following corrective surgery on my right hand from a fall in Jasper National Park, in November using a palette knife with my left hand. A pretty difficult task!
	353: Mountain Shadow		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Mountain Shadow RV Park, Iskut, British Columbia, Canada, N57.8587074, W-130.0212097		29-Jul-13
	One of 2 paintings completed at Mountain Shadow RV Park - a place we loved when returning from Alaska 4 years ago.
	355: Salmon Glacier Summit		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Salmon Glacier Road, Tongass National Forest, Hyder, Alaska, USA, N56.1687469, W-130.0506287		31-Jul-13
	How can a short 23 mile gravel road have some of the most rugged but spectacular scenery we've seen? In addition to a great spot to view salmon spawning, bears, eagles and a wolf catching these huge fish, at the end of the road one stands overlooking the Salmon Glacier - the 5th largest is Canada. Around every corner is another fantastic view - especially heading back down the valley, but the narrow road made it difficult to find a safe painting spot. Dave took photos while I painted the summit and he followed in the car as I walked down the road for a ways and took reference photos. Gorgeous day. gorgeous views!
	356: Fish Creek Pond		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Center, Tongass National Forest, Hyder, Alaska, USA, N55.9611893, W-130.0622101		1-Aug-13
	Every day we've come to view the bears feeding on the salmon spawning in the creek and I would study this delightful pond on the other side of the boardwalk. Today I painted it. A wolf came to the creek today as well. He stayed through the morning eating 3 fish.
	357: Road Trip #3 - Glenn Highway East		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	mm 176.7, Glenn Highway, Tolsolna, Alaska, USA, N62.1065102, W-145.8508606		24-Jul-13
	Near the eastern edge of the Glenn Highway lies Wrangell/St Elias—a national park larger than Switzerland with taller peaks than all the Alps! We pulled off the road for the night so I could paint another gorgeous view. The setting sun lit up the Wrangell Mountains spectacular. This is the 2nd Glenn Road Trip painting what a fantastic road to drive!
	358: View from Pyramid Lake Island		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Jasper National Park, Jasper, Alberta, Canada, N52.9191322, W-118.0055542		6-Aug-13
	Our first day in Jasper, we decided to explore a series of lakes close to town. This lake had a small island which gave a good vantage point of Edith Cavell Mountain in the distance.
	360: Maligne Lake		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Jasper National Park, Jasper, Alberta, Canada, N52.7288208, W-117.6413345		9-Aug-13
	While my brother-in-law went on the boat trip to view Spirit Island and the 22km lake, I stayed along the beach to paint. Although the scene was pretty, it was the gorgeous clouds and sky that captured my attention.
	361: Yoho's Amazing Emerald Lake		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Emerald Lake, Yoho National Park, Field, British Columbia, Canada, N51.4390106, W-116.5373841		11-Aug-13
	The colorful mountain and aqua lake were unbelievably beautiful. Emerald glacier could be seen on top of Mt. Michael and the particles in runoff from the glacier caused the unusual aqua color of the lake.
	362: Power - Takkakaw Falls		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 8" x 16"
	Yoho National Park, Field, British Columbia, Canada, N51.4390030, W-116.5373764		12-Aug-13
	This is a waterfall that one could climb the rocks at the bottom and get close enough for a shower! I chose a vantage point that included the beginning of the river as well. The spot where the rock walls narrowed created a powerful force of water pushing out and then falling. I'd like to paint just the top of this falls in a larger format to get the sense of power.
	363: Road Trip #4 - Yoho Valley Road		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Yoho National Park, Field, British Columbia, Canada, N51.4325485, W-116.4223709		13-Aug-13
	About a mile from our campground was this delightful view of Mt. Steven and the Spiral Tunnel View Point. I thought, "This is another great spot for a road trip painting." So I headed out early the next day to catch the morning light. We could also see the top of the mountain and glacier from our campsite.
	364: Road Trip #5 - Trans-Canada Highway		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 7" x 14"
	Kootenay National Park, Radium Hot Springs, British Columbia, Canada, N50.6334877, W-116.0536652		15-Aug-13
	This tight opening is only a few km from the park gate and is the start of a steep up hill climb of Redstreak mountain. The colorful rocks include rust, browns, and ochre to make an interesting composition. We camped in Redstreak campground - about 2 miles from this spot. I had about 4 feet between the rock face and concrete road barriers, with many lumbering trucks and cars rushing down the mountain.
	365: Road Trip #6 - Trans-Canada Highway at the Iron Gates Tunnel		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Kootenay National Park, Radium Hot Springs, British Columbia, Canada, N50.6353111, W-116.0303268		16-Aug-13
	Another delightful spot on this wild road from Radium Hot Springs to Banff! Three Bighorn sheep came down on a small pathway right beside the red rock, crossed the street and munched grass right in front of me right as I was finishing this painting.
	367: The Beautiful Bow River		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Lake Louise campground, Banff National Park, Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, N51.4171982, W-116.1740723		18-Aug-13
	Fed by glaciers, the Bow river flows through Japer and Banff National Parks along the way to the Hudson Bay. Similar to most of the lakes in this region, the emerald color seems almost unreal. A few kayakers came down the stream while I was painting and, I'm not sure why, but the kayaks appeared to be not actually in the water but floating above it.
	368: Lake Agnes		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Lake Agnes Tea Room, Banff National Park, Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, N51.4160767, W-116.2443161		19-Aug-13
	Was the water really that color? Yes! A darker green than Lake Louise, it was still a beautiful lake. The 3.7 km all up the mountain was quite a workout with my paint bag - but well worth it.
	369: Moose Meadows		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Bow Valley Parkway, Banff National Park, Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, N51.2563591, W-115.8672104		20-Aug-13
	I dropped off my brother-in-law at Jackson canyon and went about a mile back on the Bow Valley Parkway to paint this field and mountain in shadow. A local stopped to tell me to lookout for 4 wolf pups that he sees practically every day at this spot. Without a doubt, my painting slowed down as I kept looking for the rascals but they didn't show for me.
	370: Castle Cliffs Lookout		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Bow Valley Parkway, Banff National Park, Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, N51.2740479, W-115.9285583		20-Aug-13
	The Bow Valley Parkway is another beautiful road that runs between Lake Louise and Banff. Castle Mountain can be seen in many spots in the park because it is so immense, but the small lookout along the parkway gives a close up view.
	371: Morning at Lake Moraine Lookout		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Banff National Park, Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, N51.3277321, W-116.1805496		21-Aug-13
	One of my favorite spots in Banff National Park is Lake Moraine - the color of the lake is so unique! I climbed the short rocky hill at the base of the lake to give me a great perspective of most of the "10 Fingers" mountains surrounding Moraine. Early morning shadows gave great definition to an already spectacular view.
	374: Storm's Moving in		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Red Rock Canyon Parkway, Waterton National Park, Townsite, Alberta, Canada, N49.0899544, W-113.8861237		28-Aug-13
	The day began with fog, then a windy storm moved in and ended with clear skies and a red sunset that warmed up the mountains.
	380: Hulshizer Historic House		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	303 South Main Street, Granville, Ohio, USA, N40.0656738, W-82.5204010		25-Sep-13
	Painted during the "Paint Granville" at the pre-OPAS competition. This house was built in 1894 for the Hulshizer family, a local miller. I set up across the street to be able to include the view of the steps and gate - a nice lead in to the house.
	381: Orchard House B & B		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Columbus Rd, Granville, Ohio, USA, N40.0429688, W-82.5728378		26-Sep-13
	I arrived at 7:30a.m. at this delightful B & B on a country road about 10 miles out of Granville. , the owner had signed up to have an artist paint his property for our OPAS event. The early morning sun provided some delightful high notes on the house, lawn and bright red chair. Seven exotic chickens wandered through the flower beds looking for food while two competing roosters had a "crowing competition". A great morning on a farm!
	382: The Clock Maker's House		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Granville Alley, Granville, Ohio, USA, N40.0671654, W-82.5178223		26-Sep-13
	Two weeks ago I came to Granvile to promote the OPAS event at the Saturday farmer's market. When I was done, I walked around town and discovered this delightful alley and wanted to return to paint it - especially in the afternoon when the sun would be highlighting the garden. Two other OPAS painters were also there and we had a grand time together.
	383: Dawes Farm		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Dawes Arboretum, Newark, Ohio, USA, N39.9802361, W-82.4167633		27-Sep-13

	Japanese Garden, Dawes Arboretum, Newark, Ohio, USA, N39.9785576, W-82.4172592		27-Sep-13
	The beautiful garden was a delight to paint and I had many visitors - a flock of geese, families getting portraits photographed and even a wedding party!
	385: Orchard House B & B #2		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 14" x 11"
	Columbus Rd, Granville, Ohio, USA, N40.0426025, W-82.5728455		28-Sep-13
	The owners were unable to attend the "Portraits of Granville" gallery show and were interested in having me return. Another beautiful morning sun once again provided great shadows and highlights on the house.
	386: Bow River along Castle Mountain		Studio, Oil on Canvas, 30" x 15"
	Bow River Parkway, Jasper, Alberta, Canada, N51.2666473, W-115.9276276		9-Oct-10
	The glacier fed Bow River begins in the Rocky Mountains and winds through the Alberta foothills onto the prairies until it eventually feeds into the Hudson Bay. The aqua color is a stunning foreground for the unique Castle Mountain range. A studio piece completed from sketches and photos completed on 22-Aug-13.
	387: Road Trip #8 - Alaska Highway, Sweet Peas Along Kluane Lake		Studio, Oil on Canvas, 30" x 15"
	Kluane National Park, Destruction Bay, Yukon, Canada, N61.168739, W-138.587079		15-Oct-10
	Kluane Lake is the largest lake contained entirely within Yukon. One of the prettiest spots along the Alaskan highway, the 43 mile long lake is nestled along the majestic Kluane Mountain range. The blooming sweet peas turned a pretty view into a spectacular one on this spring day! This is a studio piece completed from a sketch and photos made on 21-Jun-13.
	389: Road Trip #9 - Tight Squeeze on South Fork Road		Studio, Oil on Canvas, 15" x 30"
	Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park, Crescent City, California, USA, N41.768644, W-124.000025		21-Oct-13
	South Fork was a narrow, twisting road through the giant redwood park - barely room for one car let alone one going the other way! This studio piece was developed from sketches and photos taken on April 14, 2013.
	390: Road Trip #10 - The Granduc Mine Road to Salmon Glacier		Studio, Oil on Canvas, 36" x 24"
	Tongass National Forest, Stewart, British Columbia, Canada, N56.1687469, W-130.1506287		19-Oct-13
	The Granduc Mine road to the glacier starts in Hyder, Alaska at sea level and follows the Salmon River to the Salmon Glacier at 4,300 ft. up in the alpine in BC. The road goes by several old gold mines which have been operating since the 1920s. Three miles past Hyder is Fish Creek Park, where from July to September, the salmon run provides an extensive food supply for bears, gulls and bald eagles. A studio piece from a sketch & photos completed 31-Jul-13.
	391: Lemon and Limes		Studio, Oil on Canvas, 20" x 16"
	Dublin, Ohio, USA		18-Nov-13
	My first "lefty" painting - "Lemon and Limes" - following surgery on my right thumb. It was slow going, even using a big brush and a minimal composition! I felt as if I was back in art school.
	393: Take a Bite		Studio, Technique Mixte, Oil on Canvas, 40" x 30"
	Dublin, Ohio, USA, 40.1344299, -83.1037979		20-Dec-13
	My 4th and final "lefty" painting - using the Technique Mixte of applying thin layers of glaze to a value study. I finished this the same week I was able to put away my cast. The Technique Mixte methodology dates back to the Dutch masters Hubert & Jan van Eyck where multiple layers of glazes are applied to a complete value study. Egg temerpera is replaced in the glazing medium with Methyl Cellulose, which doesn't decay. and provides great luminosity to the painting.
	394: Home for the Holidays		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on canvas, 12" x 9"
	Front Driveway, Dublin, Ohio, USA		23-Dec-13
	My first right-handed painting following surgery. After 9 months on the road, it has been wonderful spending time with family and friends here at home. The sunset added to the warmth of the dusk colors.

	My first plein air field study of 2014! We were on the way to Tucson and found this delightful State Park to camp in. I got up early to catch the morning sun on the unusual rock formations.
	396: Morning at Brown Mountain Picnic Shelter		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Tucson Mountain Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.2285614, W-111.143827		8-Jan-14
	I painted at this site the day before and was unhappy with the results - definitely a "flinger". So, I scraped it and went back the next morning, when shadows were stronger to try it again.
	397: Desert Museum Wash 2		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 11" x 14"
	Tucson Mountain Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.2471161, W-111.1678238		10-Jan-14
	I returned to paint here this year and I loved the early light caressing the rocky edges of the wash and the scrub along the ridge. The wash in the foreground and the valley and mountains in the distance are a great composition.
	401: Rocky Wash		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Tucson Mountain Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.2047539, W-111.1254044		18-Jan-14

	403: Junk Yard Cars		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Tucson, Arizona, USA, N32.3091660, W-111.0366135		29-Jan-14

	500: The Old Sardine Smokehouses		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 8"
	Grand Manan Island, Seal Cove, New Brunswick, Canada, 44.6522827, -66.8398209		2-Jul-15
	The tide was out and the fog in on this early morning. It made a great time to paint these abandoned structures in the middle of Seal Cove village. A young (about 8) boy stopped to visit and said, "Wow! If I had a $1,000 I'd buy that painting!"
	503: Deep Cove Beach		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Grand Manan Island, Seal Cove, New Brunswick, Canada, 44.6124115, -66.8795242		4-Jul-15
	This was my last morning painting at Grand Manan Island before we departed. I went to a spot south of Seal Cove that had a lot of lupine along the road.
	504: Rockwood Municipal Park		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Interpretive Center, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, 45.2909508, -66.0539627		6-Jul-15
	I got up early to drive into the park and find a spot to paint. Unfortunately, the park gates were closed and the only painting site was at the entrance to campground.
	505: Morning Pond		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Rockwood Municipal Park, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, 45.2978249, -66.0544205		7-Jul-15
	We had time for me to do a paintings before we departed Saint John. I chose this little pond because I liked how the sun lit up the bridge and rocks.
	507: Flowerpot Rocks at Hopewell		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Ocean Floor at low tide, Hopewell Rocks, Hopewell Cape, New Brunswick, Canada, 45.8213692, -64.5726776		9-Jul-15
	I'd been looking forward to painting these unusual rock formations. With the largest tides in the world, I stood in a spot that would be 20ft below the surface in 6 hours - for a total tidal change of 40.1ft.
	508: Wolf Point Bridge		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Wolf Point, Fundy National Park, New Brunswick, Canada, 45.5532112, -65.011528		10-Jul-15
	This is one of the few times I did the sketch and took the GPS coordinates half way through the painting. Low tide was approaching and the water in the river would drop pretty quickly - which it did! I got the river & reflections in just in time.
	509: Alma Harbor Sunrise		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Alma Bridge, Alma, New Brunswick, Canada, 45.5996475, -64.9469681		11-Jul-15
	There's a small view of the harbor on the campground ridge. A brilliant red sun was reflecting on the water at that view point, so I went into to town to see if I could find it at the harbor. The bridge worked well.
	511: Northport Lighthouse		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Northport Community Center, Northport, Prince Edward Island, Canada, 46.7943077, -64.0623474		13-Jul-15
	Headed out to a close bay for an early morning painting. Jimmy, a local lobster fisherman, stopped to chat. He told me that they no longer need lighthouses with all the gear they have in their boats. Fishermen were sorting and stacking lobster traps in preparation for the next season.
	512: Digging for Oysters on Long Creek		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 13" x 11"
	Route 145, Mill River East, Prince Edward Island, Canada, 46.7636757, -64.1466751		14-Jul-15
	PEI seems to have two major industries - fishing and growing potatoes. Since I've been painting a lot of seaside and harbor scenes, I thought it might be interesting to paint a field of potatoes - orange clay and dark green leaves. Imagine my delight when I found a farm running down to the shore and John, the oyster fisherman, positioned perfectly for the painting!
	514: Cavendish Beach		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Prince Edward Island National Park, Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, Canada, 46.4995422, -63.3834915		16-Jul-15
	This was a very windy morning - I had to hold my easel and got sand and salt fogging my glasses. The waves were very rough and I wound up scraping them 3 times but still loved being there!
	515: The Swimming Rock		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	A local beach called the "Swimming Rock", Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, Canada, 46.4670219, -63.4527054		17-Jul-15
	There are 3 bridges close together and I was looking for a vantage point to paint the rust cliffs. I found this small spot that locals use for swimming. Not only was the ocean very calm, but I found the pastoral scene across the point.
	516: Red Cliffs of PEI National Park		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Prince Edward Island National Park, Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, Canada, 46.5001984, -63.3807106		17-Jul-15
	I joined Artie Lowe to paint the red cliffs at the national park one more time. I began at 4:30 and got to watch the sun set after I finished.
	518: Carl's View		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	O'Regan's, Doyles, Newfoundland, Canada, 47.8568306, -59.2340927		23-Jul-15
	The Grand Codroy River empties into the Bay of St. George nearby. I painted across the street from Carl's house and he stopped to chat. Although he now works in Ottawa, he frequently returns home to visit family & friends. He was preparing his house for visiting family that was arriving that day. It seems that many Newfies leave the island to find work but most want to return.
	519: Davis Cove - Road Trip #15		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Highway 440, Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada, 48.9812164, -57.99634155		25-Jul-15
	An iconic Newfoundland scene - a small village nestled by the sea! The view from the rolling hills highway was a little tricky - no place to park and near a nestling pair of ospreys. I parked at the base of the hill and hiked up to get the best view. Although this was our first really sunny day in NL, the fog didn't reveal all the mountains until I was finished. A great opportunity for a studio piece!
	520: Penguin Head		Plein Air Water Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	Darren Park's dory, Bay of Islands, Newfoundland, Canada, 49.14152764, -57.98425197		25-Jul-15
	What a fun way to paint the bay—in Darren's boat as he took Dave & Artie around to his favorite fishing sites. Luckily, I chose a simple composition since the guys weren't catching fish as quickly as Darren had predicted. I got the painting done before the guys had their 15 fish quota. The painting was part of the barter for Darren's excellent guide service.
	521: Trout River Pond		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Trout River Pond Campground Road, Gros Morne National Park, Trout River, Newfoundland, Canada, 49.4586067, -58.1250153		27-Jul-15
	This is our first visit to Gros Morne National Park. Throughout Newfoundland, we've traveled by these large bodies of water that are referred to as "ponds". Trout River Pond is one of them. With the back of the unique Tabletop mountains on the left and glacier ground granite on the right, it provides an intersecting spot to camp.
	522: Woody Harbour View		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 8"
	Gros Morne National Park, Woody Harbour, Newfoundland, Canada, 49.5001602, -57.9145813		28-Jul-15
	Although it started out as another cloudy morning, it cleared up enough for me to see the Tablelands mountains in the distance.
	523: Lobster Cove Lighthouse		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Lobster Cove Head, Rocky Harbour, Newfoundland, Canada, 49.6030121, -57.9553261		30-Jul-15
	Another very foggy morning - with low light - gave me the opportunity to fine tune how to paint grey skies and water. The point has 125mile per hour gale force winds which makes it hard to keep the flagpole and the trees upright.
	525: Gull Island		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Sleepy Cove, Dean Rhoads Property, Crow Head, Newfoundland, Canada, 49.6836319, -54.8070488		1-Aug-15
	Dean Rhoads graciously allowed us to boondock on his property, called Sleepy Cove. As soon as we set up our rigs, Artie Lowe went fishing and I started this painting. What a gorgeous spot!
	526: Twillingate Harbour		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 8"
	Harbour Lights Inn, Twillingate, Newfoundland, Canada, 49.6546059, -54.7733383		2-Aug-15
	We went into Twillingate to have breakfast and some Wi-Fi - imagine our surprise when we found all 3 of the restaurants (it's a small town) either closed or holding private parties. The Harbor Lights Inn keeper took pity on us and offered us her leftovers from her guests - which turned out to be a great breakfast. While Dave did some programming work, I went across the street and did 2 paintings - this one is of the harbour. In fact, she allowed Dave to stay the whole day.
	528: Barbour Living History Museum		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 8"
	Barbour Harbour Bridge, Newtown, Newfoundland, Canada, 49.2030373, -53.513504		3-Aug-15
	In Newfoundland, a "tickle" is defined as a waterway that is open on both ends - and there appear to be many of them on the island. This small community has 2 - one which gave a perfect view of the Barbour Living History Museum where we boondocked for 3 days.
	529: Fogged In		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Newtown Tickle, Newtown, Newfoundland, Canada, 49.2046089, -53.5158806		4-Aug-15
	This was a fog that stuck around all day. You could see the mist as it flowed by. It created great atmosphere for both paintings and photos.
	530: Newtown Rocks		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Edge of town, Newtown, Newfoundland, Canada, 49.2046623, -53.5220871		5-Aug-15
	All of the shoreline - including the 2 tickles or passageways - have large rocks scattered along the coast. One would have to know what the "pathways" are to run a boat when they are submerged. The pattern of these particular rocks seemed to make a good composition.
	531: Big Brook Morning		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Newman Sound Campground Trail, Terra Nova National Park, Newfoundland, Canada, 48.5397034, -53.9703331		7-Aug-15
	Our campsite was near one of the entrances to the Campsite trail. This early morning view of Big Brook, at low tide, was a nice painting spot. Although I was hoping to see a moose, I did have many hikers stop to chat as I worked.
	532: Southern View of Trinity		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Boondocking Camping Site, Trinity, Newfoundland, Canada, 48.3650055, -53.3584938		9-Aug-15
	Trinity is a very small community with little unused land, so we were very happy to get permission to camp on private property at the top of a leveled off hill. Great views in all directions!
	533: Western View of Trinity		RV "Studio", Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 8"
	Boondocking Camping Site, Trinity, Newfoundland, Canada, 48.3648148, -53.3584633		10-Aug-15
	Today was so windy and rainy that we pulled in the larger slide on the RV so it wouldn't get damaged. Visibility was very bad, so I decided to paint from the RV, using photo references on what I knew - but couldn't see - was directly outside.
	537: View of La Scie		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Island Cove Campground, La Scie, Newfoundland, Canada, 49.9661942, -55.6057281		17-Aug-15
	I loved the challenge of painting these peach rocks in 3 different atmospheric planes. The granite appears to be fragile enough to frequently chip away or crack - leaving interesting rocky landscapes.
	538: Fire Weed says "Summer's Half Over"		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Island Cove Campground, La Scie, Newfoundland, Canada, 49.9663048, -55.605732		18-Aug-15
	In Alaska, we learned that fire weed indicates when summer is over - once all the blooms are finished it means snow will follow in about 3 weeks. I don't know if that's true here in Newfoundland, but it is a very vibrant weed that gets it's name from being one of the first plants to grow following a fire or forest clearing.
	540: My Last Newfoundland Sunrise		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Codroy Valley Provincial Park, Doyles, Newfoundland, Canada, 47.8341866, -59.3384361		20-Aug-15
	As we prepared to hop on the ferry to Nova Scotia, I went to the Provincial Park for my final Newfie painting. I was blessed with a delightful sunrise sky.
	541: Red Boats at White Point		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Ingnoish, Nova Scotia, Canada, 46.874588, -60.3578639		22-Aug-15
	This is a very small community along the Cabot Trail. The view I liked was at the culvert by the road - a protected harbour with two bright red boats.
	543: Black Brook Beach		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Ingnoish, Nova Scotia, Canada, 46.7756462, -60.3332024		22-Aug-15
	My eye was attracted to the peach beach and rocks reflected in the afternoon sun. I used the placement of the people to lead the viewer's eye to the waterfall.
	544: Birches on the Beach		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 13" x 11"
	Keltic Lodge, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Ingnoish, Nova Scotia, Canada, 46.6566582, -60.3855324		23-Aug-15
	Dark water and sky in the distance made the birches stand out in the foreground. Although I have painted birches before, this time I observed that this type of birch had brilliant red twigs.
	545: Cabot Trail - Road Trip #16		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 16"
	Veterans Memorial Lookout, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Cheticamp, Nova Scotia, Canada, 46.73843, -60.9197578		25-Aug-15
	The Western side of the Cabot Trail provides many lookouts to capture the spectacular views of winding road, mountains and seashore. This is the first of 3 "Road Trip" paintings I completed.
	546: Cabot Trail - Road Trip #17		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 16"
	Near Presqu'ile, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Cheticamp, Nova Scotia, Canada, 46.7058067, -60.9405937		26-Aug-15
	An Iconic Cabot Trail scene. This is the 2nd of 3 "Road Trip" paintings completed on the Cabot Trail. Another spectacular viewpoint!
	547: Cabot Trail - Road Trip #18		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Pillar Rock, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Cheticamp, Nova Scotia, Canada, 46.6906204, -60.9572487		27-Aug-15
	This is the 3rd of a "Road Trip" series on the Cabot Trail. Near Cheticamp, I would drive by this spot every day as I headed deeper into the National Park. I finally painted here on our last day - which turned out to be a sunny but very blustery one! I had to hold the easel, tie my hat down tight, and retrieve my paint bag and camera as they flew by.
	549: Wayside Campground View		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Wayside Campground, Glen Margaret, Nova Scotia, Canada, 44.5792999, -63.9128647		30-Aug-15
	I set up my easel, did my sketch to figure out my composition, took some photos and started painting. About 40 minutes, I realized that the tide was coming in and I would be flooded out soon. After moving to higher ground, I decided to keep the same composition, which forced me to paint mostly from memory. A good exercise.
	550: Rainbow Sherbet Row		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	King & Montague St., Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada, 44.3764572, -64.3097382		1-Sep-15
	Lunenberg is a designated NUESCO world heritage site because of all the historic buildings. This little street's vibrant houses reminded me of rainbow sherbet.
	551: Picton Castle Docked		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 16"
	Lunenburg Harbor, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada, 44.3753624, -64.3070602		2-Sep-15
	This schooner was being fitted for a journey to Africa. The morning was very calm and I loved painting the reflections as well as the challenge of this complex subject.
	552: Blue Rocks Morning		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Blue Rocks, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada, 44.3541946, -64.2347565		3-Sep-15
	A few miles out of Lunenburg, these coastal rocks turn a light blue when wet. Blue Rock is a small fishing village with many picturesque shacks. This morning, the red sun added a pink glow to the entire bay.
	553: Grounded at Sunset		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 8"
	Tanner Road, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada, 44.3733635, -64.3166809		4-Sep-15
	I found this spot with the intension of painting the harbor across the way. As I set up, I found I loved these two boats grounded at low tide. The sunset highlights added to the scene.
	554: Freedom at the Zwicker Dock		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Lunenburg Harbor, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada, 44.3749733, -64.3089066		5-Sep-15
	After painting the magnificent Picton Castle teaching boat, I wanted to incorporate more of the harbor view in a painting of this "well used" fishing boat. Another calm harbor morning gave me great reflections!
	555: Morning Cleanup in Old Quebec		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Rue Cul de Sac & Rue Notre Dame, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, 46.8123779, -71.2030716		13-Sep-15
	The streets were so crowded in the afternoon, I chose to return early in the morning to paint. Torn between painting Quebec's historic hotel and the "Old European style streets". I found a great spot Where I could incorporate both themes in this painting. Turns out it was also a stopping spot on the walking tours of the old city.
	556: Luminous Lunenburg		RV "Studio", Oil on Canvas, 36" x 12"
	Tanner Road, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada, 44.3733635, -64.3166809		1-Sep-15
	As I finished up the painting "Grounded" I saw, across the harbor, the reflections of the early evening and Lunenburg lights in the calm water. I did a quick sketch and picked up a larger canvas to work in the RV Studio in the evenings.
	557: Dry Creek Road Barn		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Dry Creek Road, Granville, Ohio, USA, 40.1208458, -82.5460892		25-Sep-15
	An old relic of better times is a great treat for artists!
	559: St. Luke Sunrise		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Broadway, Granville, Ohio, USA, 40.0680237, -82.5199661		26-Sep-15
	Although I planned to paint the Saturday Farmers Market, as I was setting up I noticed how the great early morning sky set off the church.
	560: Asters and Goldenrod		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 12"
	Louden Street, Granville, Ohio, USA, 40.097229, -82.558136		26-Sep-15
	This field caught my eye on the way to Sunbear Gallery on Thursday at the beginning of the OPAS Competition. Today I was able to paint it. I had many people stop to chat and take photos.
	561: Autumn Splendor		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	S. High & Spring Street, Dublin, Ohio, USA, 40.09850531, -83.1134949		10-Oct-15
	Painted during the Dublin Art Walk on a beautiful fall day filled with color and light.
	562: Waiting for Friends		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Tohona Chul Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA, 32.3395464, -110.9819183		8-Jan-16
	I was almost done with my morning painting at the café courtyard when a woman entered and asked if it was OK for her to sit and wait for her friends. I asked if I could put her in my painting, and she agreed, but told me she'd only be there for about 10 minutes. I got busy...
	567: Inside the Spanish Courtyard		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Tohona Chul Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA, 32.3393974, #VALUE!		18-Jan-16
	Last year, I painted outside the Spanish Courtyard, looking in. This year, my eye caught the light looking out the door.
	568: Saturday Morning Fishin' Hole		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	John F. Kennedy Metro Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA, 32.1788445, -111.009758		30-Jan-16
	A favorite spot for me to paint while locals like to fish!
	570: Still Standing		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 20"
	Tucson Mountain Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA, 32.2331429, -111.1463013		6-Feb-16
	This saguaro is probably twice as old as me!
	571: Glorious Spring		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 8" x 10"
	Caesar Creek Lake, Lebanon, Ohio, USA		8-Apr-06
	This red bud tree was in peak bloom. What a way to celebrate spring!
	573: Almost at the Top		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 16"
	Gates Pass, Tucson Mountain Park, Tucson, Arizona, USA, 32.2234688, -111.1014938		19-Feb-16
	A second visit to Gates Pass - this time a little later in the morning.
	575: Madera Canyon Wash		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Madera Canyon, Coronado National Forrest, Green Valley, Arizona, USA, 31.7816925, -110.8867264		25-Feb-16
	One the way to paint the canyon, I looked to my left as I drove over one of the one lane bridges. Although still considered winter, the grasses in the wash and on the mountains caught my eye.
	577: Morning at Peggy's Cove		RV "Studio", Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Peggy's Cove, Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada, 44.4932785, -63.9153481		13-Feb-16
	This is a studio rendition of a plein air work completed 2015-08-29. An iconic view of this historic spot, I wanted to focus on more than the two red boats this time.
	578: Remnants of a Copper Mine		RV "Studio", Technique Mixte, Oil on Canvas, 24" x 20"
	Tilt Cove Mine, Tilt Cove, Baie Verte Peninsula, Newfoundland, Canada, 49.881111, -55.624404		9-Apr-16
	There are 6 people that live in the mining town of Tilt Cove. The abandoned mine, right at the shoreline, has littered the coast with some of the most amazing colored rocks I've ever seen! One of the most brilliant were the large rocks of purples, reds and oranges called peacock copper. Too amazing not to paint!
	579: Santa Cruse River		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Marana Trailhead to Santa Cruise Walkway, Marana, Arizona, USA, 32.4353676, -111.2330704		19-Apr-16
	Went painting with TPAPS artists Walter Porter, Norm Sherman and Ron Schorff. Ron took us Marana, where we decided to paint the Santa Cruise River. I was amazed that there was so much water in it!
	582: Sabino Canyon Dam		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Sabino Canyon, Tucson, Arizona, USA, 32.3138275, -110.8116608		13-Apr-16
	Today was a post-surgery milestone: I hiked 1.5 miles into the canyon, with my paint bag. Did a painting and hiked back out without being exhausted! A beautiful day at the canyon.
	585: Shadows from Yesterday		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Old Tucson Studio, Tucson, Arizona, USA, 32.2170486, -111.1304169		18-Apr-16
	The 4th day of PACE16 brought a pretty fun place to paint - the Old Tucson Studios are where most of the westerns have been filmed. Near the entrance, my eye caught the light on this old wagon in the shade. It provided a great foreground for the bright sand and tree across the street.
	586: View from Campsite #44 -Superstition Mountains		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Lost Dutchman State Park, Apache Junction, Arizona, USA, 33.4567032, -111.4821167		21-May-16
	We arrived early afternoon at Lost Dutchman State Park. Our campsite provided a great view of the Superstition Mountains. Neighboring campers reported that the sun shines directly on the Superstition Mountains in the afternoon when the wind picks up. In fact, it became so windy, I used the shelter of the front of RVee for shade and wind protection. The mountains continued to change color as the setting sun hit them.

	Lost Dutchman State Park, Apache Junction, Arizona, USA, 33.4565048, -111.4814987		22-May-16
	The Siphon Trail runs right by our campsite - which was convenient for painting it! Every few hours, the look of the mountains changed drastically as the sun moves.
	590: Sunrise near Mather Point		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Grand Canyon National Park, Tusayaan, Arizona, USA, 36.0595436, -112.1057587		31-May-16
	My first Grand Canyon painting! Dave & I left RVee at 4:50am to catch the sunrise. He hiked down the canyon on one of the trails, while I hiked the rim near Mather Point. It was quiet and beautiful morning.
	591: Sunset at Yavapai Point		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Canvas, 24" x 20"
	Grand Canyon National Park, Tusayaan, Arizona, USA, 36.0659904, -112.1168137		2-Jun-16
	Artist Curt Walters suggested the way to paint the canyon is to pick a spot and return daily at the same time. That is what I did with this painting—a difficult job to plein air paint such a diverse subject when the sun is going down! Three days for 3 hours each from 5:00pm to 8:00pm made the results worth it.
	592: A busy morning near the Bright Angel Trailhead		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Grand Canyon National Park, Tusayaan, Arizona, USA, 36.0578346, -112.1430206		1-Jun-16
	Mules and hikers headed down—some very excited and some fearful of how far they would go— while weary hikers returned from the Phantom Ranch nestled at the Colorado River. It was fun overhearing all the conversations as people climbed the last few yards right below me. A disappointed hiker stopped to chat for a while since he wasn't able to get into the Ranch—he was next up on the waiting list but couldn't wait the extra day.
	594: Spider Rock		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Canyon de Chelly, Chinle, Arizona, USA, 36.105627, -109.355247		4-Jun-16
	With temperatures climbing above 110 degrees, I made sure to paint early in the morning while here!
	595: Monument Valley at Mitten West		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 20" x 10"
	Indn Route 42, Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Oljato, Utah, USA, 36.980583, -110.103707		7-Jun-16
	We took a jeep tour, run by the Navajo, on the day we arrived at the Valley. I spotted this sight and returned early the next morning to paint it. It was very hot - over 110 degrees every day!
	597: Court of the Patriarchs		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Zion National Park, Springdale, Utah, USA, 37.236721, -112.9602432		12-Jun-16
	This is an iconic view of what the Navajo people call Mukuntuweap—a straight canyon with upright rocks.

	Bryce Canyon National Park, Bryce Canyon City, Utah, USA, 37.5036316, -112.2623901		17-Jun-16
	The red rocks and green evergreen backdrop were a great compliment to each other.
	605: Pine Tree Arch		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Arches National Park, Moab, Utah, USA, 38.7876129, -109.598732		24-Jun-16
	One of my favorite painting spots in Arches National Park - one of the other visitors said, "I picked the best arch to paint of all 2000 in the park." I agreed!
	606: Morning Homage to the Arch		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 10"
	Delicate Arch Viewpoint, Arches National Park, Moab, Utah, USA, 38.7372437, -109.500553		25-Jun-16
	While Dave hiked the 3 miles to the arch, I chose a little farther viewpoint to paint it. As far away as I was, I could hear the mummer of voices echoing off the cliffs.
	607: Morning at Dead Horse Point		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Dead Horse Point, Dead Horse Point State Park, , Utah, USA, 38.4691353, -109.7399521		26-Jun-16
	This canyon, although about half as big as the Grand Canyon, was filled with beautiful colors - from deep maroons, reds, oranges, yellow and greens. The bend in the Colorado river was another great view point. The complexity of this view required 2 morning to finish.
	608: Peeking Through the Turret Arch		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Windows, Arches National Park, Moab, Utah, USA, 38.6857147, -109.5328598		28-Jun-16
	I was attracted to this scene when I turned around from photographing another arch and saw that I could see the distance rock formations through the Turret Arch. The morning sun highlighted the arch.
	609: A Three Moose Morning at Silver Lake		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Silver Lake, Brighton Ski Resort, Brighton, Utah, USA, 40.6050491, -111.5870667		2-Jul-16
	I was set up along the edge of pathway that wraps around the lake when two male moose came running by in the reeds across from me. They stuck around for about 40 minutes, eating reeds, playing in the water and chasing each other. About an hour after the excitement was over, a third male moose cut across the path about 10 feet from me and posed nicely for me for about 10 minutes while munching on the willows. Sorry to say, I didn't get a model release from any of them.
	612: A Beaver's Condo		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Schwabacher's Landing, Grand Teton National Park, Jackson, Wyoming, USA, 43.7134514, -110.672081		12-Jul-16
	A beaver's dam created a tier level of water. It significantly expanded the amount of water flowing into the Snake River.
	613: Morning Reflections		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	String Lake, Grand Teton National Park, Jackson, Wyoming, USA, 43.7882118, -110.732132		13-Jul-16
	Another beautiful morning where the highlighted Teton mountains were reflected delightfully in the lake.
	614: Still Melting		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 16"
	Lupine Meadows, Grand Teton National Park, Jackson, Wyoming, USA, 43.7352371, -110.7413406		14-Jul-16
	Dave went off to hike while my challenge was to paint the changing elevations up close. Whew!
	616: Moose Hangout		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Grand Teton National Park, Jackson, Wyoming, USA, 43.6671295, -110.6968842		15-Jul-16
	A moose and her baby grazed in the valley for my entire painting. Tow other traveling artists, Gary Holland from Boise, ID and his Russian friend, Timur Karim, from Poland, joined me mid-morning. Dave cycled in with is camera and we all had a delightful time!
	617: Homage to Ansel Adams: Snake River Overlook		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Canvas, 24" x 18"
	Snake River Overlook, Grand Teton National Park, Jackson, Wyoming, USA, 43.7543449, -110.6238403		20-Jul-16
	High winds, smoke from three fires and changing light all contributed to making this a 3 day plein air painting. Although the trees have matured and somewhat block the view—it is an excellent spot to paint! It is said that this iconic photo helped convince Teddy Roosevelt to create this National Park and a copy was sent to outer space to represent the world.
	619: Mount Moran Morning		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 20" x 10"
	Signal Mountain Boat Ramp, Grand Teton National Park, Jackson, Wyoming, USA, 43.8390656, -110.6171112		21-Jul-16
	It was a bit unusual for me to paint the reflections first, but I thought that the boat ramp would become a very busy spot giving way to choppy water rather than the serene view I had for the first hour.
	621: Teton Rocks!		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Sheep Bridge Trailhead, Teton Canyon, Grand Teton National Park, Driggs, Idaho, USA, 43.7598343, -110.9885178		25-Jul-16
	Teton Canyon has many spots to view the canyon, but this one is my favorite-so far. I was attracted to how the rocks in the foreground complimented the mountains in the distance.
	623: Green and Blue		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 20" x 10"
	Highway 32, Tetonia, Idaho, USA, 43.8975601, -111.1801071		27-Jul-16
	We traveled Highway 32 from Yellowstone back to the Teton Valley. The vibrant greens against the hazy blue mountains caught my eye so early one morning I returned to paint the scene. The bonus was finding the morning sun "pink" up the distant Teton Mountains.
	625: Relics		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Tetonia Grain Elevator, Tetonia, Idaho, USA, 43.810955, -111.1651688		28-Jul-16
	This grouping of old structures near the old railroad tracks caught my eye. The tricky part was deciding what to leave in and what to take out.
	629: The Yellow Boat		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Emerald Necklace Marina, Cleveland, Ohio, USA, 41.4813957, -81.8318939		24-Sep-16
	Cleveland has an amazing mix of water and free ways. I loved finding this small marina nestled under one of the major thoroughfares. The yellow boat glowed in the foggy morning light.
	640: O'Shaunasee Reservoir		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	O'Shaunasee Reservoir, Shawnee Hills, Ohio, USA, 40.1713295, -83.1390076		19-Sep-16
	I hosted an OPAS paint out here on a very snowy, cold blustery Saturday. Tom Cole was the only other painter that toughed out the snow, sleet and rain - and very little sun!
	641: Madera Canyon		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 10"
	Madera Canyon, Coronado National Forrest, Green Valley, Arizona, USA, 31.759812, -110.887009		27-Jan-17
	Marsha, from the Sonoran Plein Air Painters, joined me on a windy day to paint the canyon. It's rare we get to paint lots of clouds in the desert!
	642: Sunlight and Shadow		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Immaculate Conception Church, Ajo, Arizona, USA, 32.373064, -112.862758		18-Jan-17
	This church, built in 1924, served the mining town of Ajo. Adjacent to the town square, it was a perfect spot to paint early in the morning. Other Tucson Plein Air Painters joined me later.
	644: Winter at the Rim		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 9" x 12"
	Grand Canyon National Park, Grand Canyon Village, Arizona, USA, 36.057224, -112.144469		27-Jan-17
	Brrr! With almost 2 feet of snow on the ground and a sunny 20 degrees - I still had a blast painting the canyon in winter! The most interesting part was discovering that the snow rarely reaches the bottom of the canyon!
	646: Yesterdays Drive		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Junk Yard, Tucson, Arizona, USA, 32.168381, -110.89894		23-Feb-17

	Lake Havasu, Lake Havasu, Arizona, USA, 34.488671, -114.358671		4-Apr-17
	Red rocks and aqua lake - in the middle of the desert!
	653: Sunrise on Buckskin Mountain		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Buckskin Mountain State Park, Lake Havasu, Arizona, USA, 34.257956, -114.164127		4-Apr-17
	First the light hit the edge of the mountain, then the palm trees, then the trailers. Spectacular morning for painting!
	654: The Colorful Colorado River		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Buckskin Mountain State Park, Lake Havasu, Arizona, USA, 34.256228, -114.161033		5-Apr-17
	I have painted the Colorado river in the Rocky Mountains, CO, Moab in Utah, Page, AZ, and in the Grand Canyon, AZ. Never did I expect the water near Havasu to be a glorious aqua that rivals the color of the Caribbean!
	656: Desert Structures		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Palm Canyon Hotel & RV Resort, Borrego Springs, California, USA, 33.255069, -116.399303		8-Apr-17
	Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is not only remote, but also offers views of high desert mountains. The severity of the land is echoed in the style of structures built there.
	658: Botanical Building		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Balboa Park, San Diego, California, USA, 32.731569, -117.149229		21-Apr-17
	My eye caught the reflections in the lily pond first, second the blooms at the end, and third, the structure. I'm not sure when he arrived but the blue heron hiding in the flowers about 5 feet from was the icing on the cake
	660: Back to Basics in Balboa Park		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Balboa Park Lily Pond, San Diego, California, USA, 32.732246, -117.14923		27-Apr-17
	When I am dissatisfied with my work, I find it always helps to change some aspect of how I complete my art. So, I decided to go back to basics and paint value studies for a while. This process did help.
	662: Rainy Day Commemoration		Plein Air Field Study, 12" x 9"
	Magazine House, Zoar Village, Ohio, USA, 40.613386, -81.423079		20-May-17
	Zoar Village was founded in 1817 by a group of over 200 German Separatists seeking escape from religious persecution in their homeland. These Separatists thrived as a unique society for more than 80 years, making Zoar Village one of the most successful communal settlements in American history. Today, Zoar Village is made up of approximately 75 families living in homes built from 1817 to the present. OPAS was asked to have painters demo during the opening ceremony for a newly renovated gallery.

	Inniswood Metro Park, Westerville, Ohio, USA, 40.102479, 82.900372		26-Aug-17
	I joined OPAS painters for a paintout at one of our lovely Metro Parks. Although there was an abundance of lovely subjects, I chose the shaded streambed to paint the water reflections while staying a littler on a hot day.
	665: Twin Lakes Metro Park		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	O'Shaughnessy Reservoir, Shawnee Hills, Ohio, USA, 40.172218, -83.138059		29-Aug-17
	A pretty summer morning along the river.
	666: Desert Razzle-Dazzle		Technique Mixte, Oil on Canvas, 24" x 30"
	Studio, Dublin, Ohio, USA		31-Aug-17
	This Agave is one of the most colorful that I've seen! I decided to use the Technique Mixte where I could apply multiple glazes to enhance the colors of this unique plant.
	667: Aspen Glow on Bear Creek		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Priest Gulch Campground, San Juan Skyway near Dolores, Colorado, USA, 37.57541, -108.181233		30-Sep-17

	Route 145 and San Miguel River, San Juan Mountain Skyway, near Telluride, Colorado, USA, 37.949062, -107.871139		7-Oct-17
	As I was painting along the Skyway, many people recommended that I stop to check out the Telluride Valley Floor Preservation. It was definitely worth a stop!
	675: Backdrop for the Glorious Aspens		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 8"
	West Fork Dallas Creek Rd, County Road 9, San Juan Mountain Skyway, near Ridgeway, Colorado, USA, 38.121517, -107.832361		8-Oct-17
	I wasn't sure if this was part of Ralph Lauren's massive Double RL ranch, but if not, it might be next door neighbors. What a view!
	676: Aspen Splendor		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 9" x 12"
	West Fork Dallas Creek Rd, County Road 9, San Juan Mountain Skyway, near Ridgeway, Colorado, USA, 38.1198, -107.832339		8-Oct-17
	Second of 2 paintings in this spot. I wasn't sure if this was part of Ralph Lauren's massive Double RL ranch, but if not, it might be next door neighbors. What a view!
	677: Hidden Jewel of Sneffels Range		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 14" x 11"
	Top of the Pines Nature Preserve, San Juan Mountain Skyway, near Ridgeway, Colorado, USA, 38.111433, -107.794331		10-Oct-17
	I met a local writer at the bar while having dinner in Ouray. He recommended that I check this spot out - that it is the most beautiful spot in the whole San Juan Mountain range. He said not many know about it. It certainly was not only quiet, but truly spectacular after one of the first snowfalls of the fall.
	678: Icy Reflections on Mineral Creek		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 9" x 12"
	Forrest Rd 585, San Juan National Forest, Silverton, Colorado, USA, 37.80528, -107.770482		11-Oct-17
	I left Silverton before sunrise to head to Mineral Creek Campground - where I heard of nearby peaks with cliffs of brilliant color-contrasting reds and grays and a waterfall on the creek just upstream from the campground. As I was rolling along the creek, the rising sun hit the cliff providing wonderful reflections into the creek. Never made it any father...
	681: Closed Up		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 9"
	Tucci's, Dublin, Ohio, USA, 40.10018, -83.113827		16-Sep-17

	Marin Headlands, San Francisco, California, USA, 37.83028, -122.498339		30-Apr-18
	I wanted to paint the Golden Gate Bridge - that's red by the way - and found a view that included a bit of the city in the distance. The day started out foggy but ended with the sun shining through.
	687: Robbie and Kay Crawford's Farm View		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Onalaska, Washington, USA, 46.584851, -122.617221		4-May-18

	Olympic National Park, Forks, Washington, USA, 47.938385, -124.647413		6-May-18
	It was a windy, blue sky morning on the beach. We hiked about 1.5 miles in the sand - not as easy as I thought it would be - to get up close to this famous site. Dave took lots of photos while I painted.
	690: Salt Creek Sunrise		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Olympic National Park, Port Angeles, Washington, USA, 48.160951, -123.705232		8-May-18
	This spot was 10 minutes away from our campground. I had intended to paint the shore, but the sunrise lilt up the valley - leaving the shore in fog. Got some great photos of the shore as the fog lifted.
	691: Hurricane Ridge		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Olympic National Park, Port Angeles, Washington, USA, 47.996092, -123.386734		8-May-18
	It was a lovely, sunny late morning that I set out to drive the ridge. Not knowing I was only about 2/3rd of the way up, I saw these trees lite up against the distant mountains. The next day, Dave & I made it to the top.
	692: Alberthead Lagoon		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 8"
	Metchosin, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, 48.395982, -123.488532		12-May-18
	It's wonderful connecting with friends I painted with on my last Plein Air Odyssey through Northwest Canada! I met Terri Rodstrom at one of her favorite painting spots in the Victoria area. I was amazed at the number of large trees that had washed ashore. Terri said that as big as they are, storms frequently change how many are on the beech.
	694: Salish Harbor Sunset from Campsite 18		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 20" x 10"
	Salish Harbor & Campground, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, 48.426324, -123.395231		13-May-18
	What a fun place to camp-right on the edge of Victoria harbor! We had float planes taking off and landing, small water taxis, herons and lots of geese to entertain us. I loved the lights hitting the downtown at sunset.
	697: Lions Gate Bridge		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 8"
	Amblehead Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 49.321935, -123.147343		18-May-18
	We camped right at the base of this bridge in West Vancouver. We could walk to Amblehead Park, which offered a great view of this bridge spanning the bay to Stanley Park. The bridge was so long, I chose to paint the end with Vancouver in the background.
	698: Magnificent View from Site #45		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Whistler RV Park and Campground, Garibaldi Provincial Park, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, 50.049702, -123.132907		21-May-18
	"Well, I guess we don't have to close the front window blind at night". We were parked at the edge of cliff overlooking Garibaldi Provincial Park. In addition to a beautiful view, we had unusually warm weather with intense blue skies. Ahhhh…
	699: Brandywine Falls		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Brandywine Provincial Park, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, 50.035151, -121.118132		22-May-18
	The hot temperature for this time of year created huge mountain snow melts and filled all the creeks and rivers. The result was a pretty spectacular falls here.
	701: Road Trip #18 On the Way to Liloolet		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 8"
	Duffy Lake Road, Route 99, British Columbia, Canada, 50.301684, -122.577197		18-May-18
	Route 99 out of Whistler is absolutely stunning! We found a pullover spot and I loved putting our RV and tow in the painting. I did a sketch and took lots of photos to finish this in the RV.
	702: Eagle Convention Center		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Yellowhead Highway Pullout, Port Edward, British Columbia, Canada, 54.2516117, -130.261948		29-May-18
	I was attracted to this spot because the low tide reflections were so calm. As I began painting, I realized that there were many birds to entertain me - eagles, herons, and lots of geese parents and babies. Later that evening we were returning from a hike and found the area filled with over 24 eagles, scavenging for low tide delicacies.
	703: North Pacific Cannery Museum		RV Studio, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 20" x 10"
	Living History Museum, Port Edward, British Columbia, Canada, 54.193819, -130.222681		30-May-18
	Established in 1909, this canning museum is well-preserved. It was interesting to see all the equipment that was used to can fish. I picked a vantage point for painting that highlighted many of the structures - out on a long dock. Unfortunately, it was very cold, bouncy and windy so I completed a few sketches and moved in my RV studio to complete this one.
	704: Clover Pass Sunset - RV view to the West		RV Studio, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Clover Pass Marina and RV Park, Ketchikan, Alaska, USA, 55.473634, -131.813734		3-Jun-18
	We love this spot! We are parked at the edge of the water where we see lots of eagles, seals, sea otters, humpback and orca whales provide immense entertainment every day. This was a spectacular sunset reflecting on Clover Bay.
	705: Clover Pass Sunrise- RV View to the East		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 8"
	Clover Pass Marina and RV Park, Ketchikan, Alaska, USA, 55.473634, -131.813734		5-Jun-18
	Ketchikan gets a lot of rain, mist and fog. This afternoon, I looked over and saw the sun was shining on the distant mountains- even though there wasn't any blue sky. I set up next to the RV so I could shelter from the mist.
	706: Butze Rapids Reflections		RV Studio, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 9" x 12"
	Butze Rapids Park, Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada, 54.293662, -130.255735		31-May-18
	This was a fun 4 mile hike - part in the rain forest and part along the bay. We all saw the reflections from this small island and agreed that it would make a great painting.
	708: Along the Zimovia Highway		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Along the Zimovia Hwy, Wrangell, Alaska, USA, 56.414044, -132.341829		12-Jun-18
	Camped between the shore and highway, I enjoyed watching the changing tides - which can be up to 25ft.in the Inside Passage. The shoreline is covered in pop weed - which has a yellow ochre note to it.
	710: A Chip off the Old Block		RV Studio, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 10" x 8"
	LeConte Bay, Wrangell, Alaska, USA, 56.835059, -132.367965		14-Jun-18
	The blue ice found in glacial tidewaters are spectacular! The LeConte Bay is a narrow channel whose dark cliffs make the ice that much more brilliant when the sun hits it. I painted this when I returned home to the RV.
	712: Harold's Warehouse		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	South Harbor, Petersburg, Alaska, USA, 56.810241, -132.96121		20-Jun-18
	Harold stopped by to chat while I was painting this scene. This warehouse was his parents home - he was born there in many years ago. The docked boat was used in Vietnam and he has re-purposed it for fishing. He had many interesting stories to share as I waited for the slough to fill so I could capture the wonderful reflections.
	713: Excitement at Blind River Rapids		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Blind River Rapids, Petersburg, Alaska, USA, 56.632577, -132.891517		22-Jun-18
	Imagine my surprise when I hiked in the Blind Rapids on a early foggy morning to find the water filled with salmon fishermen! The fog hid most of the mountains so I began to capture the fishermen and the water reflections, hoping that the fog might lift a bit. As the tide ran out, the salmon were exposed in the shallow rivers as they made their way into the deeper pond. I stopped painting to take pictures. Then the eagles - about 40 of them - arrived to fight over the salmon parts left by the fishermen - more photos. Then a mama bear and her 3 cubs arrived for their breakfast of 3 salmon - more photos. Fourty five minutes later, when I went pack to my painting, I finally noticed that the sun was out and my early morning foggy view was long gone!
	714: View from our campsite at Sitka Marina		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Sitka Marina, Japonski Island, Sitka, Alaska, USA, 57.048688, -135.347623		24-Jun-18
	Sitka is located on the west side of Baranof Island and is the only town in Southeast Alaska that faces the Gulf of Alaska. There are many small islands nestled around the city. My view from our RV highlights just a few of them.
	715: O'Connell Bridge - Gateway for Boats and Seaplanes		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Coast Guard Dock, Japonski Island, Sitka, Alaska, USA, 57.04936, -135.345824		25-Jun-18
	One of the delights of camping on Japonski Island is watching the boat and seaplane traffic float & land under the O'Connell Bridge. I wasn't fast enough to capture one of the planes!
	716: Lighthouse Flowerboxes		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 9" x 12"
	Rockwell Lighthouse, Rockwell Island, Sitka, Alaska, USA, 57.036017, -135.33371		26-Jun-18
	A few days after I painted the Rockwell Lighthouse from the harbor, I got a call from artist Lynn Brautigam Boots, who was staying at the lighthouse for the weekend. She invited me to come out and paint for the afternoon. Even though we had a torrential downpour, it was a delightful place to paint. I nestled under the eaves to stay relatively dry and painted the bright red flower boxes.
	717: Sunny Sitka		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 20" x 10"
	Coast Guard Dock, Japonski Island, Sitka, Alaska, USA, 57.050594, -135.348238		29-Jun-18
	In the three visits we've made to Sitka - this is the very first time the sun's light remained on the town long enough for me to paint it! Glorious!
	718: Going, Going…		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska, USA, 58.417493, -134.547293		3-Jul-18
	This is our 3rd visit to Mendenhall Glacier in 10 years. I am very sad to find how much the glacier has retreated in just that short time. Our daughter, Rebecca, flew in to visit us here and got to see this remarkable vision while it is still here!
	719: Breathtaking!		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Top of the Tram on Mt. Roberts, Juneau, Alaska, USA, 58.296428, -134.387646		5-Jul-18
	Our daughter, Rebecca , and I took the tram to the top of Mt. Roberts. While she hiked, I found a corner of the building that housed the Tram to paint - it was built over the edge of mountain and I had a great view of the whole valley. It was a lovely day!
	720: Along the Chilkat Inlet		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Mud Bay Road, Haines, Alaska, USA, 59.216575, -135.450447		8-Jul-18
	The Chilkat Range is the backdrop for the Chilkat Inlet, which is on the West side of Haines. Eagles and seals fished along the shore - enhancing my painting experience.
	721: Libby Dulac's Front Yard		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 20" x 10"
	Haines Junction, Yukon Territory, Canada, 60.798302, -137.510011		18-Jul-18
	I met Libby and her husband Claude 5 yeas ago when we passed through Haines Junction on our way to Alaska. Although Claude has passed away, Libby remains a wonderful host - even allowing us to park in her fabulous front yard! The only thing missing were the bears, moose, and other wildlife that visit her as well.
	723: Rodak Trail		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Eagle River Nature Center, Eagle River, Alaska, USA, 61.230599, -149.271628		29-Jul-18
	Another gem in the Chugach State Park!
	724: What a View!		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 20" x 10"
	Site # 558 Seward Resurrection Campground, Seward, Alaska, USA, 60.107107, -149.433952		30-Jul-18
	Camping along the shore of Resurrection Bay is one of our favorite reasons to visit Seward. It's delightful to watch the sea otters floating by all day, in addition to the spectacular views! I left Anchorage early in the tow car so I could get us a front row view along the shore. Luckily, I got the last vacant spot.
	726: Spectacular Fireweed		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 12" x 8"
	Turnagain Arm, Chugach State Park, Portage Valley, Alaska, USA, 60.817176, -148.980022		7-Aug-18
	What to many locals is a common weed, the fireweed sure is a brilliant focal point against the blue Chugach Mountains!
	727: A Colorfest of Blues and Greens		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 16" x 8"
	Turnagain Arm, Chugach State Park, Girwood, Alaska, USA, 60.944135, -149.201595		7-Aug-18
	The Seward Highway is a spectacular road to drive. Nestled in the Chugach State Park - one of the 4 largest state parks in the USA, this view along the Turnagain Arm has unlimited spots to paint!
	728: Kennicott Mine		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Kennecott Mines National Historic Landmark, Kennicott, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska, USA, 61.483477, -142.887271		9-Aug-18
	This was a challenging, but fun, subject to paint! It was interesting to see how the mine evolved through the years. My painting spot was a stop on the walking tour, so I picked up quite a bit of information as guides would share the history of the mining town.
	730: Kennicott Creek		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 9" x 12"
	Kennecott Mines National Historic Landmark, Kennicott, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska, USA, 61.484426, -142.88781		10-Aug-18
	The Kennecott mining town and mines are an extraordinary relic from America's mining past. On the left of the creek was the burned hospital, and on the right were two administrative buildings. Most notable is that early6 photos show the creek was once to the right of all the structures in 1911, but now runs between them!
	731: A Peak of Premier Mountain		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Salmon Glacier View Point, Hyder, Alaska, USA, 56.169389, -130.05002		21-Aug-18
	Having visited the Salmon Glacier Viewpoint before, I chose to hike farther up behind the parking lot. The rocky area was filled with small bogs and at this one bog spot, I could see the peak of Premier Mountain - which was actually on the far side of Salmon Glacier.
	732: Another Smoky View		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Canmore Nordic Center, Canmore, British Columbia, Canada, 51.088617, -115.383738		26-Aug-18
	With over 465 wildfires in BC, most of our stops were smoke filled. Our son, Ben, and Dave were very excited to try this highly rated frisbee golf course, nestled in the mountains while I painted. They said it was fun, in spite of the smoke. I was challenged to show the slight changes in value and hue as the mountains receded.
	734: Split Rock Lighthouse		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 8" x 10"
	Pebble Beach, Two Harbors, Minnesota, USA, 47.1971125, -91.3778878		31-Aug-18
	Our son, Ben, and I explored the Northern Shore of Lake Superior together. This was one of the amazing views I painted while he hiked.

	Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Sullivan's Landing, Michigan, USA, 46.519062, -86.51458		7-Sep-18
	The rock striations were so amazing - with brilliant colors going both horizontally and vertically in the same section of the rock formations.
	739: Really Red Morning		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 16" x 12"
	Ron Spencer Farm, Lima, Ohio, USA, 40.637462, -83.921027		20-Sep-18
	A visit to my father, three hours away, includes driving through Northern Ohio's farmland. "I have to paint this farm", is the thought I have every time I passed it. Every structure is bright red, except for the house - which is white with a bright red roof. This fall, I tracked down the owner and got his permission to paint it. I left home about an hour before sunrise so I could catch it at early light on a beautiful fall morning.
	740: Sun Worshipers		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 20" x 16"
	Cherry hawk Farm Apple Orchard, Marysville, Ohio, USA, 40.246544, -83.262113		1-Jan-70
	Intending to paint the apples at this apple farm, I was delighted to find a lovely field of sun flowers still in full bloom.
	741: First Train of the Morning		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Baltic Birch, 20" x 10"
	Glendale Heritage Preservation Museum, Glendale, Ohio, USA, 39.271347, -84.459331		28-Sep-18
	The Historic Train Station was my first painting subject for the day. I arrived near sunrise, just as the sun's rays scooted across the back of the train station and across the road. The first train came by shortly after I had started painting. A lovely morning!
	743: Sunset on Sharon Road		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 16"
	Glendale & Sharon Rd., Glendale, Ohio, USA, 39.272102, -84.460089		28-Sep-18
	The 2018 OPAS Competition included all of Hamilton County. I chose to focus my time in the lovely, historic community of Glendale - close to where I was staying. After completing two other paintings, I was heading up the hill to my car and saw this delightful sunset.
	744: "Why That's the Nation's Oldest Police Station"		Plein Air Field Study, Oil on Linen/Gatorboard, 12" x 9"
	Glendale & Sharon Rd., Glendale, Ohio, USA, 39.272091, -84.458822		29-Sep-18
	I set up my easel, slightly encroaching the intersection, so I could get the view of the railroad crossing framing the old structure across the tracks. Half way through the painting, a police car pulled up. "Oh, darn," I thought he was going to make me move. Instead the officer stopped to share with me that I was painting the nation's oldest continuing working police station. He stayed to watch me paint and chat for a while.
	746: Lake Louise Selfie on a Smoky Day		Studio, Oil on Canvas, 24" x 24"
	Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, 51.416645, -116.21765		8-Oct-18
	Over 465 wildfires in BC alone restricted visibility in the Canadian Rockies. One morning, I was sitting on a bench in front of the hotel, sulking because the smoke was so thick one couldn't even see the bright red boats yards away. My attention was drawn to this family who were documenting their visit with selfies.
	747: Sun's Last Kiss on Lake Solitude		Studio, Oil on Canvas, 36" x 24"
	Lake Solitude, Grand Tetons National Park, Jackson, Wyoming, USA		13-Nov-18
	Another beautiful location in the Grand Tetons - painted for newly married family member and his wife.
