Diane Mannion, 36 Venice Beach Rocks, plein air, 8x10" o/c
We had frost last night, had to scrape the windshield earlier, but by mid-morning I was painting on the boardwalk. Tourists walked by in flip-flops and bathing suits. People waded close to shore hunting for shark's teeth, a popular sport down here, fossil shark's teeth... not the fresh ones.
Last Friday, I painted at the Venice Art Center portrait studio, elbow to elbow during this busy season, but always a treat painting from life.

Two lovely paintings and it shows how you can paint anything well!
Love the beach scene because I feel the air and sunshine in it. I enjoyed seeing the man so well painted with the ear placed just right! Must be all those hours of drawing over the years.
Thanks, Julie, you're so kind! Can't wait to try your fracturing technique. Maybe next week.
Two wonderful paintings - I especially like the depth and atmosphere you have created in both.
Thank you, Clare. Your comments mean a lot to me.
