Plein Air @ Shoreline Lake Boathouse Mountain View CA åŠ å·žé¢¨æ™¯å¯«ç”Ÿ
We had high heat for a couple of weeks, so it was very pleasant day at the waterfront. I found a shady spot and painted the Lake boathouse. Actually, I had both Shoreline Lake American Bistro and the Lake Boathouse in my mind. But the white tent looked more interesting and I thought I would paint the visiters in front of it arriving for kids' summer camp as well. During the time I drew it, I changed my mind, because it was getting complicated. At the end, I tried to unzip my favorite outdoor painting jacket, but it was stuck. Worn out I guess after using it for many years. I had to ask for help from other artists. Three ladies helped, but could not unzip. Finally, one of the ladies suggested unzipping it from the bottom, so I was at least able to take it off. (July 8 2024)
