BAINBRIDGE SALT FLATS

OIL/CANVAS PANEL

PALETTE KNIFE/BRUSH








 The northwestern part of the United States is one of the most scenic parts of this country.  I recently visited there and spent time on Bainbridge Island,  Whidbey Island, and the Seattle coast line.  I left behind the scorching Oklahoma August and enjoyed perfect weather there.

Bainbridge Island is off the coast of Seattle in Puget Sound.  Drove my car onboard a ferry and floated over,  such a treat.  I came upon the salt flats while hiking.  There were several paintings to be had, I could turn in any direction and find a knockout.  I particularly liked this scene. 

We used a photo of it for class Monday evening.  I am so pleased to say that everyone in class produced a knock-out painting.....all different according to their style and all exceptionally good.
