"Morning Shore" Whidbey Island Plein Air painting by Robin Weiss

"Morning Shore" 6x8 oil on panel      Sold

 

This was the first painting I did down by the Keystone Ferry during the Whidbey Island Plein Air competition.  The morning mist was just lifting and the soft shapes of driftwood and distant homes were appearing out of the fog. I laid my underpainting down quickly and then squinting I put in the dark and light shapes I saw not concerned yet with nouns but more with adjectives...in other words, not things but light and dark shapes. then going back in and modeling the cool light in the distance to the warmer tones in the foreground. This painting never made it into the show but is one of my favorites.

"Red Tailed Hawk" Whidbey Island Plein Air painting by Robin Weiss

"Red Tailed Hawk" 6x8 oil on panel  SOLD

 

This small 6x8 was painted in the same area I did Cemetery Road. A birder with a scope spotted the hawk near me while I was painting and I ticked it in with my rigger brush.  I traded this painting for an extra day at the BnB I was staying on the island. My host was happy and so was I!  

"Cemetery Road" Whidbey Island Plein Air painting by Robin Weiss

"Cemetery Road" 10x20 oil on panel, framed   $1000

 

Another from the Whidbey Island event in August 2022.  We went up to Cemetery road a couple times. There are some sweeping views of Ebeys Landing and other cool stuff to paint. I liked the shadow patterns coming across the road in this scene with the added benefit of Mount Baker in the distance. This painting is still available! Call me if you are interested!  =]   360-779-3940
