Long-time island resident and artist Jack Dorsey was the first to arrive at the gallery this morning. It was great to hear him share his knowledge of the area with other artists. One spot he recommended was Barnum Point on Camano Island. Several artists took his advice and had a wonderful day with interesting scenery and encounters with local islanders and wildlife!

Above, Ned Mueller paints at Triangle Cove off Barnum Road and then meets Priscilla (below), a resident of the area, who showed Ned a photo from the day when they used oxen to create the original Barnum Road.

Artist Ann Gores (below) accompanied Ned to Barnum Point and enjoyed a beautiful setting for painting.

Linda Bean of Bothell and Linda Hogan of Redmond chose to rendezvous at the gallery before heading out to paint. See this video to find out what they had planned.

In the afternoon, our fearless photographer Cindy Ellinger ventured back to Barnum Point to look for artists … and she found success! In addition to three Camano Island artists, Cindy found eagles and four deer to photograph.

The wildlife came and watched, but kept their comments to themselves.
