So in the meantime this is a snap-shot (who says that anymore, I guess I do) plein air setup on a beach about 15 minutes from my place. What is known as the Big Bend area of the Hood Canal. Without the clouds there’s a really nice view of the peaks of the Olympic Mountains (they did clear away before the end of this Painted Sketch, so I got them in.

A mature bald eagle sat in a fir just over my head and watched me paint for quite a while. A nesting pair of Belted Kingfishers have a nest in the cliff face just to the left of where the tip-top of my panel holder is positioned. They are noisy birds, particularly when you encroach on what they believe is their territory. Some seals were chasing something in the water behind me. I’m not certain, but I think I saw a couple otters in about the same spot about an hour later. Oh, and on the way out I found a baseball sized piece of petrified wood.

There are days and then there are days, right.
