"Brilliant Afternoon Light Arcata Marsh" by Andrew Daniel

16" x 24" (40cm x 61cm) oil on wood panel

I was so excited by the combination of brilliant blues in the water and intense green of the duckweed. Fortune smiled upon the painter this summer and provided several richly sunny afternoons as I worked on this one.

 The opening will be this Saturday October 4th during Arts Alive! from 6-9pm. Come drop by and say Hi!

This piece is going to be in a show dedicated to the theme of the Humboldt Bay at the First Street Gallery in October. Some of our Lost Coast Daily Painters will be represented in the show. Besides myself, there will be bay landscapes from Stock Schlueter, Kathy O'Leary and Mimi Laplant in the back gallery. In the front Gallery Cindy Hooper will have 6 video installations and Mary Mallahan will have a large scale ceramic model of the bay.

The morning here in Humboldt is my favorite time to paint. Everything is soft, wet from the mist, slowly waking up, and waiting for the sun to come out.  I was really inspired by the bands of blues and purples, and the oyster beds waiting for their morning maintenance visit.

I know there is also a ceramicist building a large scale model of the bay and a photographer who also is dealing with bay issues.
