Plein Air Washington spent two days at the beautiful Nisqually Wildlife Refuge on the Nisqually River Delta in southern Puget Sound, "established in 1974 for the protection of migratory birds. Three thousand acres of salt and freshwater marshes, grasslands, riparian, and mixed forest habitats provide resting and nesting areas for migratory waterfowl, songbirds, raptors, and wading birds." The Nisqually River originates from the Nisqually Glacier on Mt. Rainier, a glacier I crossed when I first climbed the mountain many years ago up the Kautz route.

ReplyDeleteLove your color selection for the sky. Think it helps emphasize the glow of light on the barns. I heard from my friend Beth that she really enjoyed the two-day plein air paint out.
