I thought the subtle greys in this scene felt calm, and quiet. The surf cold surf was a pale grey green. Every time I paint the ocean it's a different color.

I met with Paul Rickard and Kathryn Stotler to paint under this bridge in Blue Lake, to avoid the rain falling on our canvases. It was so lovely to watch the the landscape covered in mist and the water rushing past us! We felt like we were sneaking in a secret bonus day of out door beauty, that most people were shut up inside avoiding!

Bird's Eye View

oil painting on canvas with simple wood frame 

This fall, several of us converged on the bluffs over Trinidad Beach. We met for over a couple weeks, nearly every day because the weather was so nice. My painting took a bit longer then everyone else, due to the amount of detail I had included. So I found myself a lonely painter on the bluff, as the weather changed, revisiting the spot several more times. Finishing the piece was cathartic to say the least!
