First Plein Air Painters of Oregon outing to Tumalo Falls....whew...cold. I must admit, I am a desert painter, but this is always good practice. I did this in about 45 minutes (rushed along by the temperature). I am trying for a looser style...and rushing helps!

Having painted almost every day (except when traveling) this winter gave me more confidence to simply take on a challenge...the cold and also a scene that is not one of my favorites to paint. There are a lot of mountain/stream painters..they don't need one more.
