plein air workshop: Delaware Bay

 11x15

My teacher and friend Marie Natale held a two-day workshop this week. The first morning started out gray and cloudy, but we went ahead and it cleared up beautifully. 
I started a second painting, planning to capture more sparkle on the water--getting the right ratio of water to pigment continues to be the major challenge--but the wind kicked up and we moved to a more sheltered location.

These are both beautiful. Quiet, calm, light and peaceful. Glad you got something so nice out of a bad start to the day :).

Laura, these are so soft and lovely! You inspire me to get out there. It'll be cool enough pretty soon. Yay!

Thank you, Barbara! Yes, we had to relocate when umbrellas and easels kept blowing over!
