"Cultus Bay" Whidbey Island plein air painting by Robin Weiss

"Cultus Bay"  14x18 oil on panel  $1100

 

After participating in the Whidbey Island Plein Air Paintout many times I have found a few locations that I like and serve different purposes. The Hammond Preserve is one I have painted at before on the far south end of the island. The morning hours from 8am-11am provide shade to set up and a stunning view of Cultus Bay.  

I had about four hours of peace and quiet at this small off the grid park so decided to paint a larger canvas. (14x18) I spent more time adjusting greens and loosing yellow as those greens moved back into the distance.
