"Coupeville Wharf 2025" Whidbey Island plein air painting by Robin Weiss

"Coupeville Wharf 2025"   SOLD

 

After many years of trying and rejecting Thalo Blue in my plein air pallet I finally think it is here to stay. Not sure if it is the result of my eyesight dimming or my color taste changing.. My wonderful eye doctor who has been taking good care of me for many years says I need the cataract surgery soon.. That may change things. I love the color I am able to achieve in the sky and water with just a tick of Thalo Blue in Titanium White. It is similar to the color you get with a tick of Viridian and White but more intense. 

I have painted the Coupeville wharf so many times during the Whidbey Island Plein Air that I have to title it with the year now.. Ha!  But they always seem to sell so I keep painting it!  Besides, the competition is always in August and it is usually HOT at least some days so tucking in down on the beach in the shade is a great way to beat the heat.  I ended up going down to the shade several times and did three paintings! 

The Whidbey competition was in August and since then a lot has been happening that I want to tell you about so stay tuned!   =]
