Sunburns, Wetlands, and Painting The Big Blue Sky
 |
| The Big Blue Sky Pastel on Canson's pastel paper 9" x 12" |
I got sunburned on my face, hands, and feet doing this pastel painting. I forgot to take sunblock and my big straw hat.
On the bright side (pun intended) I found a new place for finding motifs--interesting and beautiful places to paint: to the west of downtown Eugene Oregon are wetlands and wildlife refuges. I can even get there by bike because the bike trail runs all the way through these beautiful areas.
Next time I go there I will go closer to sunset and not again at mid-day.
