North Douglas plein air I

Today in Juneau the weather was amazing. Warm and no wind.

I painted for several hours in just a tshirt.

The thing was ... it was sunny down in South Douglas 

and overcast in North Douglas!

The other thing was that even though it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, 

only about 4 people walked by.

 

This was the view I decided to paint ... seen thru my view finder!

 

Set up and progression:

Prepared canvas board is toned with Transparent Red Iron Oxide.

Calm before the storm?   8" x 10"   oil on canvas board

I left quite a bit of the iron oxide coming through ... 

probably because it was such an overcast spot! The light was actually quite flat.

 

(I really like how this b&w looks!)
