First off, I am very happy with this painting. There, I said it.
My husband and I have a saying, "If you have to eat frogs, eat the biggest one first." This has morphed into "Anything I don't want to do, or am procrastinating, or am even nervous about, is a frog. Okay, I'll eat it first." This has been a week of frog-eating.
Thursday morning was my last scheduled plein air class with Kim VanDerHoek. We were going to Heisler Park in Laguna Beach, and the day was promising. But painting at Heisler Park is a sort of mecca to plein air painters, the ultimate gorgeous seaside spot. What if I really made a mess of it? Therefore, it became a frog.
I'm happy to say that the fog lifted, I had a great time, I'm happy with the painting, and all is well.
Ribbetttt!!
Found you on Leslie Saeta's Blog--nice to meet a fellow artist.Beautiful painting Cindy! With the messy weather we are having in Nova Scotia, it makes me want to be there! So glad you ate that frog--it was worth it!
