Bridgetown

Summer is ending and the trees along the Portland waterfront are starting to change colors. One day last week, I got a little sunburn drawing the Marquam Bridge...

and the next day, the blue sky was obscured by some very unusual clouds...

If I had painted those clouds, it would have just looked like I had no idea how to paint clouds--which is basically true.

Luckily, the sky cleared somewhat when I added the paint to my sketch of the Hawthorne Bridge...

and by the time I left, even the geese were enjoying the day.
