"Dosewalips Day Park" day of plein air painting with Robin And Maury Weiss

"Dose Day Park"plein air landscape painting by Robin Weiss  8x12 oil on panel

Still way behind so I will post all the paintings I did with my son Maury, when we went painting together last week.  We headed for our favorite spot, The Dosewalips river, with innertubes , fishing poles and easels. On the way we stopped at Falls View Canyon to get the first painting of the day on the books...

I had been painting down in Falls View Canyon before and was excited to take Maury there! You can see my studio painting from this spot in 2010,  here. 


On the left is my painting and on the right is Maury hiking into Fall s View. It is not a long hike but pretty steep getting in there.

We set up right on the river with a beautiful view of the cascade. The morning light was casting great shadows on the water.

After painting the Big Quil.,  we headed for the Dosewalips........It being a beautiful, sunny, summer day ....and a Saturday,.. the camp spot at the Dose was packed! We tried parking along the side of the road in the camping area and found a good spot to paint....but as we were unpacking our gear a Ranger asked us not to park there....Drat!!...We ended up in the day park area and set up to do a painting there ....Needless to say there would not be any tubeing or fishing this day.....which was okay....we really wanted to paint!

Our last stop at the end of the day was at a little park along Linger Longer road in Quilcene. We had to paint fast to keep up with the quickly moving light at this time of day..and it was a challenge!
