I'm at the Columbia Gorge Paint Out for the next few days . . .

Or the Hood River Plein Air... or the Pacific Northwest Plein Air in the Columbia River Gorge... or something...

I think that last one is what they are calling themselves this year. In any event, it is five days of painting outside in the Columbia/Snake River basin, and depending upon where the sun goes, so do I. (Probably Eastsince the weather isn't looking so great...)

So check out this year's event and even come to the free public opening on September 3rd to meet many of the best plein air painters of the Pacific Northwest.

I'll be having great fun with a lot of old and new friends, both in the Gorge, up on Mt. Hood, and near Goldendale.

I'll be back in a few days to share how things went!

Enjoy,

Thomas
