Here's the first painting I made away from the security of the campsite in the Olympic Peninsula. I felt that I could choose any spot and look in any direction and find 360 degrees of light, pattern and beauty. It almost didn't matter. In fact it would have been helpful if someone had just pointed arbitrarily and said "paint that". But since there was nobody to do that for me, I spent a good hour circling and wandering, like a dog preparing to lie down for a nap.
