I had to paint it!<br /><br />Thanks Amy, Sorry, I've been sharing lots of photos of myself in my rain gear, but I just couldn't bring myself to show the net!<br /><br />Deborah, Thank you. I find the light a challenge also. The small size of daily paintings helps this, as you just have to be quick and go for the color note.<br /><br />Nancy, Thanks. I'll get back to you about the water based oils.<br /><br />Dana, Thank you. I'm only thinking of the water based oils for trips. Seems like a good idea for out of the way places.<br /><br />Katherine, Thanks. I am so envious of your trip. You are doing exactly what my husband would love to be doing!Pam Holnbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569629104736368674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715268445448989787.post-65325564449887910592010-07-17T21:26:42.918-06:002010-07-17T21:26:42.918-06:00Great painting and love to see your set up there. ...Great painting and love to see your set up there. Good thing there was so little traffic, otherwise it might have been dangerous, too. <br /><br />We have not seen Sitka deer yet on this trip but probably because we are on the water most of the time. I love seeing your grayed greens and blues. Just like it looks up here in Juneau! Thanks for your comments on my blog, too. Alaska is over the top! Big vistas, big water, big fjords, big glaciers, big icebergs, big whales, big docks full of commercial fishing boats ... I love it!Katherine van Schoonhovenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856296773149274225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715268445448989787.post-11189083578237735992010-07-17T19:22:04.784-06:002010-07-17T19:22:04.784-06:00Lovely painting of the reflection Pam...I do wish ...Lovely painting of the reflection Pam...I do wish we would have had a photo of you...what a trouper!<br />I painted with water mixable oils before I start with oil.

We might pick up a few fashion tips! About the water soluble oils, I have used them. Please let me know if you have any questions, am happy to help. Happy travels!Nancy B.

I like the way you have placed the focus straight on the reflection, cropping out much of the surrounding scene.

Easy clean up and no nasty turpentine.<br />I like Duo brand the best. Windsor Newton's are too thick and sticky. I also use Lukas, they are very creamy but might not be as good of quality as the Duo but very reasonable at Jerry's Artarama.Diane Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423474002379823609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5715268445448989787.post-78785359612523151312010-07-16T16:30:11.171-06:002010-07-16T16:30:11.171-06:00I like that at first glance the painting has an ab...I like that at first glance the painting has an abstract look to it. I also like looking at your photos of your plein aire working space. It is always interesting to see how other artists work.
