Painting at the Beach

Last week I joined fellow artists for a beautiful day plein air painting.  It had been a long long time since I ventured outside to paint.  I was terribly rusty, but enjoyed every moment!  I'll post my two small studies as soon as I photograph them.  In the mean time, here are some nice shots to share.

Packing up.....it's all over.  I had a great time!
