Four of us showed up bright and early to paint water, reflections, and Rhodies at Crystal Springs in East Moreland. It was a great day. As it warmed up, we saw several more members of the Portland Plein Air group come by to sketch and take photos
Spotted these shade loving blooms across the way, can't get enough of that spring pink!
My first little on location painting starts out with light values while I get all the elements in position. You'll have to come back tomorrow to see the final. the camera battery is charging! As an aside, as we were packing up we spotted a big camera crew setting up for some mysterious extravagant event. Found out later it was Vanna White doing background shots for 'Wheel of Fortune'. I hope they got pictures of all the birds too!
Nice painting...& thanks for sharing photos of your day!
