Bend, Oregon

I'm working in Bend today. I threw plein air stuff into the car before I left home this morning, but went out to dinner with coworkers this evening and didn't feel like shlepping all my painting  junk into the hotel room afterwards. It's probably just as well since I can make quite a mess while painting.

I'll be leaving Bend in the early afternoon tomorrow, so may have a bit of time to do some plein air painting somewhere along the way. Central Oregon is so beautiful that it would be a shame to leave without spending a little time painting.

I've never had much luck with plein air, but I'm always willing to give it a try.

I love the clean, sage smell of Central Oregon.
