We love Plein Air painting. There is something so special about being out in the fresh air, alone or with other artists, seeking out a new location or vista to set up your gear. Ignore the wind, or snow, or burning sunshine while adding one more color, one more paint stroke as you dive deep into your painting. Enjoy the autumn leaves and a bubbling brook, the salty beach air... All of this is the essence of Plein Air Painting... on location...feeling one with nature. Join us!
Smith's Point Beach
Tuesday morning, the most amazing Fog rolled in, so I wasn't sure what to expect at the PALS Smith's Point Beach location. All I could see were the side railings as I drove over the bridge, and when I found my way into the parking lot I could only see about 100 feet ahead of me. I parked and began to walk toward the beach and via cell phone, I met up with Laurie S. We enjoyed our morning on the beach, listening to the huge waves crashing loudly, watching birds fly by in flocks, and painting away. It was so relaxing. We even watched in amazement as 2 surfers swam into the waves until they were swallowed up by the fog. It was a wonderful morning, a great way to start the day....when I arrived home to an email with photos, I couldn't stop smiling...turns out, not far away down the beach, more PALS were sketching and painting on the other side of the fog!
