Foggy Mornings

9/12/13 Watercolor, Diamine Chocolate Brown ink, Stillman & Birn Beta sketchbook

We’ve been starting our days with a thick layer of fog the past couple weeks. Apparently it’s been foggy in Charleston Harbor, Oregon, too, because Elva Paulson made some remarkable paintings of pelicans in the fog. When I saw them yesterday on her blog, I was stunned by their beauty, and she inspired me to get out to Green Lake this morning to sketch the fog.

Unfortunately, my sketch didn’t capture any wildlife, unless you count the (construction) crane on the horizon.
