Mitchell Bay, San Juan Islands

Painted this from the little cottage we stay in on Mitchell Bay, evening light when we got back early enough. 10" x 13" oil on canvas, framed  $245.
Here is how I set up if I don't have a table or want to be on the ground, since I didn't have a standing easel.

Cattle Point, San Juan Islands

Also showing the frame, these are new to me and not my usual frames! Bear with me . . . this is at Cattle Point, part of the American Camp National Historic Park. The Americans held camp on the southern edge of the San Juan Islands. The question was if the islands were to be part of Canada or America, it was decided in 1872 that they went with America.  9" x 9" oil on treated paper, $150

Heading off to Lexington, VA for Thursday through Saturday for a Paint Out at Nelson Gallery. Stop by Saturday night for the opening if you can!

Young Hill View, San Juan Islands

Decided to show this in the frame that I have for it . . . This was painted on top of Young Hill part of the English Camp National Historic Park on San Juan Island. David hiked while I sat on the hill and painted. The island in the distance is part of Canada, Victoria is to the far left-hand side. 9" x 9" oil on treated paper, $150, framed.
Here is a different view from up on Young Hill that David took, looking towards the bay I painted.

Our Cottage, San Juan Island

A small painting of our little cottage we stayed in for six nights while on San Juan Island, our host was a couple who also rent out a B & B called the Longhouse, a site where the Salish Indians lived.
I painted on treated paper which made traveling easy, NFS.

A different view from where I painted from, but gives you an idea of the cottage.

Our view from the cottage out on Mitchell Bay.

San Juan Islands, Washington

My husband and I had a fabulous trip to the San Juan Islands and then south of San Francisco to visit family. We had a great time and will post about a dozen paintings that I did throughout my trip. This is from the first cottage we stayed in which is at the end of Mitchell Bay on San Juan. This is one of the views from our cottage. Haven't figured out how to frame some of these yet, 7" x 14" oil on treated paper, $250
