"February Morning" 8x10 Oil

Sold

Yesterday morning I painted with a good friend and artist Gary Blackwell. Gary and I used to paint together on a regular basis as well as travel and participate in plein air events but busy schedules have kept us from doing this for quite a few years. Yesterday was reminiscent of times past, and interestingly, the view we painted was looking at an area we would often paint on the Palos Verdes Coast. I miss the laughter and camaraderie and I look forward to painting together again soon. Gary's work can be seen at http://gary.fineartstudioonline.com/
