Sometimes I like to wing it and paint like the 'California Watercolorists' of the 30's, 40's and 50's. Check out my link and you'll learn a bunch of neat stuff about an amazing group of painters. Bigger strokes, bolder colors and simplified compositions are what marked their individuality in a changing art scene. My experiment began when I hoisted my easel, already set up from an earlier painting and tromped down my street and onto the headlands until I found just the right mix of bluff, water and houses. We have the occasional visitor to our frame shop/gallery that ask how many artists we represent. I sheepishly reply, "Just one that seems to have multiple personality disorder", as I like doing all sorts of different things with paint. Gotta keep myself interested since it's a daily pastime...................

The Fog is Lifting
Before I knew that I would be seeing one of my boys for Mother's Day, I was able to do my next favorite thing and spend a few sublime hours on the Mendocino headlands. My best buddy and her exchange student were with me happily painting as the fog was coming and going, but we loved every warm and cold moment. I happen to live on this very street, just behind the bushes on the left and a bit farther north than the houses featured. I am blessed immeasurably to step out my front door and be to this spot in a minute, and believe me I don't take it for granted. Not one iota.
