Gastineau Channel from Thane Beach Juneau AK 8 x 10 inches oil on panel |
Yesterday was a day for plein air painting in Juneau
... it wasn't raining!
Six of us went out to the old Thane Ore House
and found some good spots to paint.
I was on the beach but near the beach grass
and it got a little windy but my umbrella withstood it.
My scene. |
I love the tidelines on the sand
with seaweed and flotsam
caught in those curves
and the old pilings gently wearing away.
Note the giant cruise ship heading into tiny Juneau. |
Thumbnail sketch. Was going to title it "After DAYS of Rain" cuz it felt so good to be out of a raincoat! |
At home in the studio, I fiddled a little with the ocean
... lightened it a little to better reflect the sky.
When I get a good photo, I will update.
Thank you for viewing my art!

I love this image Teri. You color selection really gives a reflective ocean a sunny feel.
Thank you so much Cristine!
Love your painting, Teri, and enjoyed the photos, too!!
Glad you got the chance to get out there and get some vitamin D.
Thank you Chris - it was great. But now the rain is back ... what a summer (NOT).
