July 11, 2008 Crisp, Warm and Juicy

7x8, pastel on paper
It may sound like I am speaking about food...but no. The air is crisp, the sun is warm and the colors are juicy. Love this place! I am here, in Washington. This morning I painted at Deception Pass, Rosario Beach. It is so different than home. The water is turquoise.
