"Foggy Bottom Boys" Port Angeles. plein air, marinescape,oil painting by Robin Weiss

"Foggy Bottom Boys"  12x8 oil on panel  SOLD
 As I reported before, the weather at Paint the Peninsula was a mixed bag!  This morning was so foggy you could actually lose your scene completely! ....but the show must go on,.. so me and Sandy Byers set up in the parking lot .

 Sandy set up to paint this old classic Chris Craft.....which, apparently she helped to sell to a gentleman who stopped by to see the painting and then fell in love with the boat! He was able to contact the owner who came and showed him around and then closed the deal!
  This boat had sunk was pulled up and set on blocks in the marina lot. It looked like a black hole of endless work and money to me but this guy thought he got a great deal....lol 





One other important fact about this painting spot was lunch....There is a little local café  tucked into the marina businesses that caters to the fishermen and boaters . I had the best, freshest, fish in chips I ever tasted there! 


Donnas Fishermens Wharf Café   Don't miss it if you find yourself in Port Angeles!
