7th Hole, Pebble Beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The 7th hole <\/a>on the famous Pebble Beach Golf Course <\/a>is one of the most iconic in the world.\u00a0 The par 3 hole probably shouldn\u2019t exist, is the shortest on the PGA TOUR at just 106 yards, and considered one of the most beautiful spots on the planet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Knights of the Vine chapter in Monterey <\/a>for the past 30 years have had a party on the Sheltered Cove pier by the Beach & Tennis Club in Pebble Beach, CA.\u00a0 I was invited to sit and paint during the party after a long time collector, Sue, recommended me to the current chapter Command, Richard Kehoe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After several false starts on the best place to set up on the pier, I started the painting around 11.\u00a0 The event was to begin at 12, and I had until about 2 to finish.\u00a0 I decided to paint Arrowhead Point overlooking Sheltered Cove.\u00a0 Partway through the painting, some of the golfers told me it was the famous 7th hole, hence the title.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s totally unpredictable how a plein air painting might turn out, and in this case, thankfully, even though it was overcast all day, it turned out pretty good.   So well, in fact, there was a bit of a bidding war among the attendees, and sold fresh off the easel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are few pictures of the day.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I didn\u2019t get a great picture of the painting, which I also framed for the collector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
