Today I am finally able to write about my class with Karl Dempwolf which took place a month ago at the ocean. I always try to start one painting which I then put away and finish later, and have a second for Karl to do his magic and paint on. This was an especially interesting exercise of the exact same place, because my vision and Karl's were so different.
      
       I saw a wide expanse of sandy beach with the waves breaking against a crescent shaped shore. My painting above is the result of that impression.

       Karl, on the other hand, saw a tucked in cove which included all the details surrounding my easel, the tree overhead, the bush to the left, and the rock up the shore.  Such a different interpretation of the same view.
