And here\u2019s the second sketch for the four wayside panels for North Olympic Salmon Coalition.<\/strong> Since the sketch completion, I went ahead with this painting and, as you can see, things have changed here and there. I\u2019ve placed it in the design mockup to see how things fit \u2013 saves time so later I don\u2019t have to repaint objects that are covered by text or other photos. It\u2019s sort of a dance between the art and the words.<\/p>\n\n\n

And here\u2019s the real scene. Not the same, for sure, but I like the way the painting has a sort of pastel and soft feeling about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Olympic Peninsula locals, if you park your vehicle opposite the Snug Harbor Cafe and walk towards Discovery Bay, you can see all this restoration. While  you\u2019re there, imagine this as it was, a rocky railroad grade complete with bridges, culverts and creosote pilings and you\u2019ll get the idea how amazingly better this is now. Two panel installations will be along here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you\u2019re still with me, in 1973, I came to this area for the first time. Right here I found an old abandoned mill stuck out over the water. It was still together, mostly, and I inquired about renting it for a gallery space. On Hwy 101, Olympic NP nearby, seemed right. I eventually ended up in Ferndale, CA for awhile, but this could have been my home. Instead, I now live 15 minutes away in what has become one of the most interesting towns in America! I believe we envision our paths as we go, and I was right \u2013 even if the result was in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for reading this week.
