Plein Air @ Redwood City Marina San Mateo CA


It was a nice day, but quite windy at the shore. Fortunately, I found a big tree to block the wind, and it worked very well.


As I painted, a lady with her very sweet ten-year-old dog passed by and said Hi. The dog was friendly and didn't want to leave.

I really wanted to pet her dog, but I knew that some paints are not good for animals and I had my rubber gloves on. So, I stopped and just watched them while chatting with the lady.

After finishing the drawing, I hesitated on where to start with my work on the boats.

Feeling a bit stuck, I decided to change to a bigger brush and covered the small details, then worked backwards to find the detail again. It looked better than when I started.

As the wind grew stronger, it was time to go home.

Last year, before the Alameda Plein Air Event, I painted at the Port of Redwood City. Unfortunately, I missed the application deadline this year, so I won't be able to attend it. (July 27, 2023)
