Once again I participated in the Carmel Art Festival and this was my tenth year to be in the show. During the competition, artists have two days to paint and present at least two finished and framed paintings for auction. The festival coordinators stamp the back of the canvas to ensure all work is done in the two days allotted.
I already posted these on Facebook, but for those who are not on social media, here are a few pictures from the show. Click on a thumbnail to view a larger picture–
After getting my canvas stamped Wednesday, I went out to Pacific Grove to paint the sunset.
Thursday morning I headed inland and painted a Sycamore tree. I eventually got rained out.
After the rain let up, I went back to Pacific Grove to finish the prior evenings painting. Although the light was different, I had enough color notes to finish the sunset.
Friday morning I went out to Garrapata State park to do a “regular old seascape.”

I ended up doing three paintings–
