Rattlesnake Lake

Rattlesnake Lake in the North Bend area is a really popular recreational park, and at the bottom of the Rattlesnake Ledge hiking trail. When I went to paint this, the sun was starting to set, which lit up the clouds with a really bright yellow color.

My painting has slowed down a bit, The days get colder and darker, and I'm sort of a fair weather outdoor painter :). I'm trying to do at least a little bit of art-related activities, such as participating in yesterday's Gage Academy Drawing Jam. That was quite fun; I'm sometimes envious of the Atelier students at the Gage, who are required to draw and paint all day most days of the week. I can't do that myself of course, but I do think I have to have structured "art time." To keep my drawing and painting muscles in shape for next summer!
