Saddlebag Island Plein Air

Saddlebag Island final


morning set up on the bow


afternoon set up in the stern cockpit

It was good to set up my easel today and paint! Our boat is hanging on the anchor near Saddlebag Island State Park on a beautiful day! This morning I set up on the bow and in the afternoon in the stern cockpit (a little more crowded back there).

My new pastels are great but they are unfamiliar. It will take some time before I feel comfortable with this new collection of colors. Today I felt like I was wearing someone else's clothes. I'm not sure they fit yet.

Any day spent painting is a good day.

Setting up on the boat isn't bad until the big ferry boat comes by and creates a wake like you wouldn't believe!

Thanks for your comments!
