Wednesday, I got out on a beautiful pair of late afternoons to catch the light and color of one of my favorite locations.  I had some company on my second visit, my former student Zak Smith and his girlfriend Britany happened by, art students on holiday from San Francisco.

We were then joined by two other young artists visiting from Seattle, Zack and  Alaina.  I’d  brought a French easel oil setup for Zack to try out, and we  spent a pleasant hour or two painting and watching the sea go through it’s transition into evening.  It was magic, and especially nice to see Zack enjoying what I believe was his first opportunity to paint the ocean.

This small pastel is what I managed to pull together.
