Day Two Capital Plein Air - Painting 1





Finally got a painting in yesterday evening. On day one Michael and I were in San Francisco at the Presidents Cup. Got home Sunday night and went into the studio at Capital Art Center at noon to help sign in the artists and take care of some last minute Gala details. Rene joined me at 3 and by 5 o'clock we decided to go ahead and get a painting in since it would rain like crazy today. So, we set up and I had my first experience painting in the dark! It was dusk when I started and I stuck with that look throughout the painting. We kept waiting for the little red lights to come on, but they never did. I had no idea how the painting looked until I got home. Oh well, it was a good warm up for tomorrow night when the painters are scheduled to paint a nocturn. I'm planning to go down to the I Max theater and paint the fountain, lights and reflections. Hope it doesn't rain!

Hope you can come enjoy the fun Friday night.
