Plein Air @ Pillar Point Harbor Half Moon Bay CA 加州風景寫生

I really miss painting boats, drove all the way to Pillar Point Harbor this morning.  It was a very warm and beautiful day at the pier.  Got a chance to talk to a couple of fishermen who liked my work.  They had a tough time from covid-19, all the restaurants were closed during salmon season. Now crab fishing was delayed to December 15, a couple of whales were passing by. And they didn't feel it was fair to all the fishermen's lives, because crabbing for sport already is allowed.  On the way back home I kept thinking how I could help them...  (Dec. 2, 2020)


The rainy season is delayed for so long - such an unusual year. A perfect day spent in Napa, took many breathtaking vineyard images before the sunset for future reference; a beautiful late fall feeling. Another half-day spent in Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. Walking over 6 miles among the amazing west coast landscape surrounded by character-full cypress trees. Took the fresh ocean air in as much as possible while listening to the waves splashing on the shore and over rocks. Saw a couple of seals and sea otters, many birds... Came home and ate a five-pound roasted duck for Thanksgiving dinner without worrying about overeating... 

I didn't paint during the week of the Thanksgiving, though not many Thanksgiving activities. So I tried to catch up this week. Monday afternoon, I managed my time to Plein Air @ Rancho San Antonio County Park & Open Space Preserve Cupertino CA. The reflections colors were unbelievable, green yellow and red leaved in the deep blue pond under the late afternoon sun...Tuesday late afternoon I painted at @ Mission Branch Library City of Santa Clara CA. The Gazebo was interesting to do. Both of them were fast studies.
