Painting 112, Surfer's Beach, Low Tide

The tide at Surfer's Beach has been low in the afternoons the last few days. I painted this Surfer's Beach, Low Tide (watercolor, approx 10 x 20") yesterday and touched it up today. I have a mat in this format so I thought that I would see how it looked. I also painted on Arches 300 lb. paper, a paper I don't often use, but I liked the heavy weight of it out in the breeze and the roughness for the wave action.

Paintings 110 & 111, Surfer's Beach I and II

I am off to a good start this year.

I went down to Surfer's Beach this afternoon and painted a couple of watercolors for a gentleman who came to my open house in December 2011. Surfer's Beach I and Surfer's Beach II, both 7.5 x 11", watercolor.

I need to rename how I am going to keep track of my paintings: I'm going to list them as numbered paintings that I have painted and blogged, hoping to reach my original goal of 365 Paintings.

Day 18 Surfer's Beach

Surfer's Beach (watercolor, 5" x 7") didn't have any surfers today. We have had wind and rain all day which is expected to last the rest of the week. I sat in Harold and painted this gray scene at sunset.
