The last day to paint was Friday. I was happy with two of the paintings I had completed during the week so decided to take it easy and paint a smaller canvas. I returned to Dana Point Harbor and painted the rocks off the jetty. The waves made interesting patterns in the water and the wet rocks were a wonderful rust color. I had fun talking to the many people who use this vantage point to watch the waves and enjoy the sun.
Sharon's Display at the Weekend Art Show
Saturday morning, I dropped off my two entries for the competition and set up my display for the weekend art show. Although I don't have an elaborate setup, my display proved quite efficient and held 28 paintings that were for sale. The turn out was good and I was kept busy talking to many of the local and visiting art collectors. Even better, I had two less paintings to pack up and take home.
Linda Williams, my gracious hostess for the week, with me at the Reception
The Saturday night reception was a mix of art, music, food and awards. With so much to do, I barely had time to reconnect with the artists I knew. It was exciting to see the final results on the walls of the gallery and reception hall.
At the Reception for the San Clemente Plein Air Competition 2009
The week long effort by all the talented artists was inspiring to view. WOW! What a great collection of plein air paintings. The show will continue through July 31 at the San Clemente Art Gallery at 100 North Calle Seville. Don't miss this show if you are in the area.
