It's another seascape, painted from a photo that I took while in California. I won't bore you this time with the progression of the painting. As much as I loved using stick pastels, I am have great success painting with Pan Pastels. They are so much fun. But anyway here it is. I took this shot right after sunset at Carlsbad Beach. Hope you like it.
In addition to keeping house, taking swimming lessons and painting, this week I am going on a day trip to see four of Virginia's covered bridges and to soak in the fall colors of nature. We will also be having lunch at Mountain Lake Resort, the film site of Dirty Dancing. Expect lots of photos, hopefully some that can be used as reference photos for numerous autumnal paintings.
Well, that's it for today. Hope everyone is having a great week. Enjoy yourself and stay creative!

This is a really fine piece of work. I really like the hillside and the figures headed for the beach itself. Lovely waves...really makes me want to go there!
Hope you have fun on the trip and find lots of things to photograph, so we can have some more paintings to see.
Keep up the good work...you are improving so much!
