"The Space Needle from Gasworks" Seattle plein air painting by Robin Weiss

"The Space Needle from Gasworks"  6x12 oil on panel  $500

 Gasworks Park in Seattle is one of the places we painted during the James Kroner workshop earlier this summer.  There are some great views of Lake Washington and the city beyond!  

I took advantage of the diagonals in the landscape to try and compose a dynamic design. The morning was still hazy which added to some atmospheric effect. This was a very fast painting attempting to get a feel of place.

This painting is on display at the Alibi Room tucked into Post Alley by the famous Gum Wall in Seattle. Stop by if you are in the area. They have great food and it is a cool location to take a break from touring the city.

Also if you are in Kitsap County on the other side of the Puget Sound, our local studio tour is coming up fast.  Lots of recent and past work from the years painting adventures will be displayed at the Knowles Studio in Poulsbo. Five other artists will be in the studio along with me and print masker Leigh Knowles Metteer. Check out the Cultural Arts Foundation Northwest for more info.

Earlier this summer I took a workshop as continuing education from artist and friend James Kroner.  We had a great time going to different locations around Seattle, learning and painting together!  If you get a chance to join a workshop with James you should do it! Especially his European workshops!

I reworked this painting a bit after getting back to the studio. It is now on display at the Alibi Room in Post Alley. If you are in Seattle you should stop in and see the show! Try their pizza! We love it!!  =]
