Well, I originally didn\u2019t plan on telling anybody about this, but just for the record, last Wednesday\u2019s painting was a total dud. \u00a0It happens. Frequently with artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went out with the Monterey Bay Plein Air Painters <\/a>again.\u00a0 The venue was the Monterey Wharf.\u00a0 We painted there last February, and while everyone else was painting Del Monte Beach, I painted a boat in the wharf.\u00a0 This time, I was going to paint the beach. \u00a0 Only one other painter showed up, Al Shamble, who picks and coordinates all the venues for the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, I consider these paint-outs more artist social events, and don\u2019t try to produce a great painting, but this time, my piece was a total dud.\u00a0 I kept painting and scraping it for a few hours, and then, since I had to attend to other things that day, packed it up and left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part of the morning was just sitting on the wharf, hearing the waves, listening to the seagulls, watching a little kid learning to surf, and viewing the sea lions playing around the sailboats.\u00a0 Actually, it was a pretty good morning!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a few pictures\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
