Evening Beach Time

 

This was one evening before dinner that we all set up along Carmel's Beach . . . the photo was taken afterwards so the lighting is very different. 8" x 10" oil on treated paper,  SOLD thanks Sarah!

Distant Bank, Carmel

We agreed we could never get tired of painting in Carmel and wish we were still there painting. This is from one of the late afternoon paintings looking back on a ledge of a cliff hillside . . . but don't ask me which direction I was facing!  8" x 10" oil on paper, showing the color of the treated paper.

Water Study

A little study of the rocks and water at the beach in Carmel, again such a special place to paint.  6" x 6" oil on board.
Here is my favorite photo from that day but not where I was painting, this is at Carmel River Lagoon & Wetlands Nature Preserve.  NFS

Carmel, Wine & Cheese!

 We painted every evening in Carmel and enjoyed our wine and cheese each night! Here is my painting on the easel  . . . with Carol Mitchell in back and Susan Greaber in front. Check out their sites on line to see their style of painting.

Distant Hill at Carmel, CA

I am painting just a small slice of this view at Carmel River Lagoon and Wetlands Nature Preserve. There is also a beautiful beach connected to this, plus parking! We painted around this area several times and depending on the day and time, always had a different view.
6 1/2" x 6 1/2" oil on board, $95. Will be at http://cvillearts.org/

Painting in Carmel, CA

Painting in California was great fun and seeing 525 other painters at the Plein Air Convention was amazing indeed! My friend Susan Greaber from Baltimore and a new connection with Carol Mitchell was really fun as we painted every afternoon or evening after the events. The convention took place in Monterey but we ended up painting mostly in Carmel because it was protected from the wind and cold. I did not take enough warm clothes! Will try to post one painting each day with a photograph or two to tell the stories.
I can't find the correct photo for this first painting, but it was done in this general area of the Carmel beach. 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" oil on board, need to find frames for these painting!  SOLD

Synergia Opening Last Night

Lots of fun last night at the opening . . . thanks to everyone who came out!

Kelly's Paintings

Two 8"x10" paintings for Kelly one as a wedding gift . . . thank you Kelly!
I have been sick with the flu for over a week, but now feeling better, I have been missing my painting days.
I can't believe I catch a plane tomorrow morning for California and will be away 12 days. I will be participating in the Plein Air Convention in Monterey with about 500 painters. Will be posting about it later on. Also visiting with my son in San Francisco and staying with my brother, a high school friend is also joining me . . . Should be a ton of FUN!
