Getting my bearings

Babbling Creek - 9 x 12" oil on linen panel

Okay, it was second day. I slept about 10 hours. Then I spent the morning taking pictures of the beach, which amazingly, was deserted, probably because of the cold. Finally decided I just had to do something. I really liked Brandy Creek, and set up my easel along the bank.

Here is the set-up. Notice my coffee mug perched conveniently on a rock! The locals say that during the salmon runs, this creek is full of Chinook.

I was happy with this painting! And relieved! Maybe I can do this residency thing after all!!
