It is for cards to be sold at the bookstore. The store is located on 2nd St in Corvallis between a shoe store and a furniture store as you can see. The building is owned by the IOOF.
This was the second Vistas & Vineyards outing at Schreiner's Iris Gardens north of Salem. I wanted to paint a single flower because the place is somewhat overwhelming with flowers. This is an oil painting on a small 6X8 canvas. I also completed some ink sketches. We has about 20 painters attending.
This was the first Vistas & Vineyard trip for the year (May 13). I sat in front of the engine and made a drawing on watercolor paper with pencil and then went over it with my Rapidograph 3X0 ink pen. It started raining so I later completed the watercolor painting at home. It is on a quarter sheet of Arches 140 cp paper.
This watercolor is based on a photograph I took on a trip to Canada in 2007. It was a church in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The moon was reflected in the glass of the front entry. This is probably one of the most detailed painting that I have made to date.
This past weekend I visited my daughter (the glass blower) in Seattle. I made this image during a tour at Pilchuck Glass School. It appears that everyone in Seattle is a glass blower. You can see her work at http://www.jkbglass.com .
