| Elements #12: Waves, plein air, 8"x10", oil on canvas, © 2017 R.L. Delight |
Winter on the Northern Oregon Coast is often cold, damp, and gray, however, when the sun is out it is stunning.
Today was one of those days. The sun this time of the year is low in
the sky and the light becomes pearlescent. I spent a beautiful afternoon
painting waves on the beach in the afternoon sun. I was nice a toasty
in my six layers of clothing! The tide was going out and the waves just
sparkled.
I am
experimenting and changing things up to push my knowledge along. I used a
few things I have been trying out on all those studio pieces in this
plein air painting.
I need to
try it again and push it again, and re-evaluate. This month I am focused
mostly on just getting back to regular painting. Next month, with these
challenges finished, I plan to go deeper. It is also time to work on a
body of work I have been thinking about for a while now.
Next month
the garden starts up again and the house renovation continues little by
little. The band I am part of is recording our third album! Life is busy
but I continue to paint and draw...
