Our painting group went out today
even though it was misty and rainy.
We did take cover under some picnic shelters
at Sandy Beach, however.

| Tom and I set up at the cement wall. |
 |
| Nice beginning, Tom! |
 |
| Cristine's set up. She painted with just a palette knife, or two today. |
 |
| Pretty little waterfall view |
 |
| Pua made a lovely painting, but I didn't get a shot of it. |

| Thumbnail sketch 3.5 x 2.5 inches
I forgot to take any in-progress shots!
I used just the palette knife as well,
and it went pretty smoothly.

Wow you captured the day and feeling in this blog today. I really like the title. I'd love to see Sandy Beach with kids and swimmers on a nicer day. Thanks for recording the day
Cristine - it would/will be great to paint at Sandy Beach when there are people swimming there and people picnicking, etc. I might even do something bigger! (And next palette knife painting will be on canvas!)
Love your misty day painting of Sandy Beach, Teri!
Really enjoyed the photos of your companions and setting. Great blog post!
Thank you so much Chris!
I love the way you captured the gray day atmosphere - the colors are so true and I admire your technique!
I have to ask - what is the purple structure used for?
Thank you Julie! Juneau has been (and still is to some extent) a gold mining area. That pump house used to pump seawater to the Treadwell Mine (1881 - 1922). Here are a couple of links for you https://www.markkelley.com/photoportfolio/pump-house-sandy-beach-juneau-alaska-image-2753/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treadwell_gold_mine.
Thanks. So neat to have that info. Thanks for the link. Love the photography. He is great.
I was on one of those large cruise ships and visited your beautiful area.
Is it just me or is your work on fire right now? You always show me a perspective I enjoy, but you have a sparky precision happening that is absolutely awesome.
Man, I love your choice of words, Heidi! I so love to hear them! Thank you very much for your kind appraisals!!!
Hi I painted with your group in 2015 as I painted my way through Alaska. You were very welcoming to me and my husband. I had so much fun, I'm on my 4th Plein Air Odyssey with a return to your lovely State! We just arrived in Sitka and will arrive by ferry in Juneau July 1 for a week. I'd love to re-connect connect with you all again, if you are free while I'm there. 614-348-7958.
Hi Susi - thanks for your message and your phone number. If you want to connect, my phone is (907) 723-9876. Several of our plein air painting group meet at Coppa Coffee shop/restaurant every Saturday at 9 am, and you will be welcome to join wherever they go!
Thanks for getting in touch - I don’t think I met you in 2015, but most likely will this time! Safe travels and happy painting!
