Getting Ready for Open Studio

I spent Saturday hanging my paintings for Open Studio 2008 at the Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica, CA. Today I labeled my work & met other artists. I'm pleased with my work and location in the EAST WING. I'm hoping for a good turnout with people ready to buy artwork.

I HOPE TO SEE ALL MY FRIENDS THERE!

Near Shamrock Ranch

This afternoon I found this pasture with dramatic shadows, and a bit of light left late in the day. I had to hurry to capture what was left of the sun in this shaded canyon.

In the Fog at Rockaway Beach

I painted alone in the fog for some time. Finally a couple Peninsula Outdoor Painters (POPs) joined me at the scheduled paintout. There were about 10 people painting from the north parking area where it was more protected.

I had just enough body heat left to do a second painting after a kind painting colleague gave me a cup of coffee. By the time I looked for the group to have lunch, everyone was finished, had packed up, and was driving away! I never got to see the other work.

Pedro Point Field

This painting was done in two sittings. On the first day, the fog rolled in and stayed for a week. Finally another clear day made it possible to complete this project.
