Wildlife Refuge Wetlands

8 x 10

The Sandhill Cranes are at the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge now!

Despite the cool wind and clouds, I drove there in a convertible so that I could hear, see, feel the sacredness of that place!

I heard the cranes before I saw them (click here to listen), but at a certain moment it seemed that it was time to fly off to a progressive dinner on Sauvie Island. Do people still do progressive dinners?

The painting turned out a little darker than I first envisioned, but the cloud cover added to the darkness (and coolness) of the day.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, any day spent painting is a good day!
