50-50 IV June 20, 2012

Mirada Beach (Oil), 6 x 6", created on 20 June 2012

I painted my first oil for the 50-50 IV show yesterday on the bluff between Surfer's Beach and the Mirada Inn. My friend Catherine joined me and brought me lunch. Thank you, Catherine!  I was trying to paint the companion oil painting to go with the watercolor Sunlight on the Bluff, but when I got home, Eleanor concurred that they were not a fit marriage.

I've designed a nice little set up for painting in plein air.  I've got twenty-five  7 x 7" canvases taped down to  pieces of cardboard and my french easel stocked with the essentials. I'm ready! I'm on schedule and feeling up to the challenge of painting 41 more paintings in the next 41 days.
