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 last year to paint during the event<\/a>, and was invited back this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a sunny and warm day\u2026well almost hot!\u00a0 \u00a0Here are few pictures of the day.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it is unpredictable how a plein air painting might turn out, I spent about 3 hours on the piece and once again, this one turned out rather well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The painting was auctioned off, and went to a couple from Pebble Beach. Unfortunately, I didn\u2019t get a great picture of the painting, but here is a snapshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
