summer so far

A rare treat - EDQ spent 4 days painting in the central sierra, staying in the warner cabin. low lake levels made the scene very different, but the high country was as beautiful as ever.
first - the island when it is an island:




our paintings from the drought of 2014:
















pamela zwehl-burke, gouache on paper, 5"x7"







diane handloser, gouache on paper, 4"x6"



























nina warner, oil on board, 10"x10






















libby smith, 8"x10" oil on panel


since it was also a rare chance to paint the full moon in the mountains, we made the attempt.
it was hilarious trying to figure where the moon would actually rise, using our 'technology' - compass, moon-phase app - we were all set up when Gigi looks some 40 degrees to our right and says "is that the moon over there?". quick scramble to re-place ourselves. The best part was we tried again the next night from a new vantage point and still missed it.
very hard to photograph - we need to figure this out…
P & D did not finish their gouaches yet - we'll post when they do. in the mean time here are 2 from the second night.
