Coral and White


What is this woman looking at in Dana Point harbor?  I looked for awhile but never saw a thing out there. Back at home, when I looked at the photo it hit me that she may just be holding her hair back in the breeze.

Painted this on a panel by SourceTec.  New for me.  They're solid and easy to carry and store but the surface is quite rough - at least on this style. Will play around with them a bit more.  Maybe try another style too.

Lots of good art coming my way this week. Monday met up with a pal at the Celebration of Craftswomen that ran three days at Ft. Mason.  Gorgeous textiles - worsted wool and silk jackets, hats, scarves along with hand-made journals, huge variety of pottery and jewelry.  Then, this Thursday a neighborhood friend set up an outing to see the David Hockney exhibit at the De Young museum.  I heard there are over six rooms full of painting.  I've only seen a few of his iconic pieces; can't wait to see this huge variety of his work.   If you've seen the show, let me know what your favorites were--I'll check them out.  It'll help me focus!

This is great! You really did a nice job on the figures and places where the light hits. I will have to look up Dana Point and see where it is on the map.

Hi Fay, Dana Point is in southern California...Orange County. This little bay actually has a rock breakwall but I opted to leave it out. It's a lovely little harbor with a Marina. Peggy KR outdoor figure painting class was there.
