Painting a small study alongside the Pacific Lock trench. I did an 8 x 10 to get just the color spots and overall color tone to the scene. Yellow Ochre dominated everything.

Really invaluable to paint on location and see colors and subtleties the camera never seems to get - or at least mine. Man, I look good in a hard hat.

 the view from where I stood. Of course I tried to paint too much on a small canvas and ended up scraping it all down to try a smaller scene. Nice frustrating day.
