Painting the Isthmus with art friends

It's fun to have company on landscape painting expeditions and we really had a blast loading up cars with an abundance of paint, finding the right location on Indian Island and merrily painting by the side of the road. We were a peaceful group, but sadly, not all of the art loving insects survived. Otherwise there were no catastrophes.

Digital Images: Which is larger, KB or MB?

 Whenever I apply  to a grant or project, I am always having to remember which is which with   MB and KB's so that I can send the correct size digital  image.

I thought I would write this out once and for all!

Byte=8bits

Kilobyte= KB=1,000 bytes

Megabyte= MB= 1,000,000 bytes= 100 KB's

Hope this helps anyone else with your applications!

Spring is Coming

Spring is coming! I finally got a chance to start work on my Geese paintings inspired by a drive through Whidbey and La Conner from a previous springtime. It is truly amazing to be surrounded by their honking whiteness.  Here is my small painting of Geese:
