I started the season with pencil and switched to pen. A brave move since you can't erase your mistakes. So I can say I progressed in my confidence.
After Labor Day we took some time to go north to Washburn/Bayfield, WI. It was on my bucket list to go to Madeline and the Apostle Islands.
Got lots of photos that will inspire my next group of paintings.
To warm up, I did a couple of drawings of the landscape in the area. From Washburn's city campground to the sea caves of Devil's Island.
I still contemplate taking my paints along and making use of the moment. As I look back it would not have benefited my development, as an artist, at this time.
We were on a boat for the view of the caves and had so much ground to cover for site seeing. I would not have had a moment to pull out my plein air box. So the camera had to capture the moment.
Anyway, that's my excuse this time.
