| Crooked River Colors, 16 x 12 oil |
We get up at dawn and hit the ground early for the Smith Rock Paint-out. With the morning sun on the rock and blue sky reflected in the water, I can't resist the river scene. It's a perfect day to sit on the rim under a broad umbrella, watching the flickering light on the river and the ups and downs of climbers. From here they look like little ants. Only from my climbing experience am I able to decipher what the little dots of color are doing down there. I paint the climbers with little touches of my number 8 filbert.

| Starting up the Crack, 8 x 6 oil |
Jurying is a long wait, but a park ranger entertains us with fascinating facts about the history and wildlife in the park. At the end of the wait, I find that both of my paintings have been accepted for the show. They are currently on exhibit at Redmond Municipal Airport, along with 20+ other paintings from the paint-out.
