Sea Rocks

                                               
SOLD
I love this grouping of rocks along the edge of Noyac Bay just outside of Sag Harbor. This particular morning it was very hazy.... and hot. I am trying to integrate all the information I learned while studying with artist Ben Fenske a few weeks ago. I think I managed to capture the atmosphere and the depth. I am looking forward to tackling these rocks, again.

I took myself out for a walk again. Nearly the end of February, and I was able to paint at the beach for hours in just a sweatshirt... unbelievable. I actually walked up the beach for a good 45 minutes before I found the perfect spot. I wanted to share with you my plein aire painting setup which has made getting out there so easy. I posted an image below and am sharing the link - Art Box and Panel from artist James Coulter - where you can purchase one if you are interested. I love it!

February Seascape #2

  

Today was day two of painting plein aire at the beach. I didn't get out until late in the day. The sun was actually starting to set and so I had the added challenge of chasing the light. I loved it.

Today I finally did it. I took my easel to the beach. I have been wanting to do that - envisioning myself doing that for a very long time. Resistance, fear of exposure, fear of standing out there alone, kept me safely tucked inside my studio, until today. I was inspired and got the final push from Roos Schuring , a plein aire painter from the Netherlands, whom I met via her blog and facebook. She wrote me yesterday and told me to take my easel for a walk... and so I did. Hooray!
