Paint-Out 2026:
4 cold, windy days in May,
painting outdoors in the
Lower Grand Coulee
7 paintings begun outdoors,
none finished on site,
but none overworked.
Clean color starts, all hard won, for later studio finishings.
Seven oil paintings of different sizes depicting basalt and sagebrush landscapes of Sunlakes State Park.
