Docked

Yesterday my friend, Susan and I went down near the bay to paint. That sounds like a great thing, but it was misty, foggy and downright damp! lol It seemed like my paper would never dry. I ended up finishing this at home because there was so much moisture in the air that I couldn't get any dark colors for the shadows. lol I'm pretty happy with the way it finally came out.

  3. Interesting. As soon as I saw this painting I thought "it's much lighter than Joan usually works". And then I read the post and realized what had happened. It was horrible yesterday. Like walking through soup! Your boat came out great, even if it wouldn't dry in plein air!
