I have been missing in action at the San Clemente Plein Air Competition all last week. My friend, Linda Williams, was nice enough to allow me to stay with her at her wonderful condo overlooking the San Clemente Pier. I invaded with easels, paints, frames, artwork and a car full of stuff.
After I settling in, I decided to paint the view from the balcony overlooking the pier. The June gloom had not entirely lifted, and a fog bank hovered along the horizon but the sun was out and it turned the ocean a lovely turquoise. Not a bad view for me to enjoy all week.
The next morning I had signed up to go over to Casa Romantica, which was right next door. I walked from the condo to the magnificent keyhole entryway. The inside did not disappoint with beautiful gardens and wonderful details like this wood carved portal.

These photos were actually taken the first day. The morning I was to paint, the sky was again overcast so, I decided to look around for a different view. My wondering led me to the patio overlooking the ocean. Facing the Casa, I was caught by the stairs leading up into the building. With the overcast sky, the shadows through the arches were a series of subtle colors that appealed to me. Casa Steps is the result of that day and is on display through July 26th at the San Clemente Community Center Gallery at 100 North Calle Seville in San Clemente.
Come back for Part 2 to see the best view in San Clemente. For more of my artwork go to my website at SharonWeaver.com

I love all of these paintings you did at San Clemente, they are all beautiful. I can see you were really busy and you did get some good views that you went to paint.
