Orcas Island

ImageRosario Harbor at twilight

I recently spent a week painting on Orcas Island, part of the San Juan Islands, off the coast of Washington state. Most of my time was spent oil painting but I had time for a few sketches here and there.

I'll post more on my oil painting blog soon.

    I haven't been up there for a long time. Your sketches make me want to go.

    I'm always struck by the similarities between the Pacific NW and Nova Scotia. Not surprising though. Love your beautiful watercolor sketches.

    Your sketchbooks are very lively and bring buildings and landscape scenes to live. Beautiful work.
