Field Sketch, Laguna Beach
oil 9x12 inches click here for purchase information
Yesterday I drove down to Laguna Beach for a meetup with SOCALPAPA, Southern California Plein Air Painters Association. A cold rain was forecast, so I really didn't know what to expect. The sun shone and the sky was beautifully cloudy. No other painters in sight. I painted anyway and absolutely loved being out in the weather. Rain, hail and wind, but I was layered up and warm. Next time I'll remember a hat with a brim to keep the rain off my glasses, and a big umbrella. I wore my fingerless gloves for the first time, and with the latex over they stayed warm and dry.

Beautiful, Karen! Sounds like you were well prepared and it paid off!
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a case where the painting is more striking than the real view. You really created something very nice. I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteThat is great. What a great painting that came from your adventure! Too bad everyone else wasn't as brave.
ReplyDeleteLove this scene. I agree it is so much better than the real view. It is so soft and looks like a place anyone would want to visit.
