It was supposed to be a beautiful day this past Friday! but turned out to be a bit chilly and windy.
Even tho the weather was not the best I went to Gold Head with 3 wonderful Friends.
Amy, from  Jacksonville, Fl., and Donna and Carol (sisters and snow birds), from Canada.


I gave Donna and Carol a little tour of Gold Head and then we settled on a location. What was I thinking when I suggested this location? It was down a large slope. And we had lots of supplies to carry down. Oh yes and carry or should I say struggle  back up with our supplies. ugh...  We had a really nice lunch and then looked around to decide on what we would each paint. 


I found a huge old oak. That caught my eye right away so that was what I wanted to paint. I'm not sure how long we were there. I got  right down to painting. I found some things difficult..Like trying to stay straight..I was sitting on a big slope and trying to keep everything from moving away from me.  I wouldn't give up on the big oak so I kept painting. Donna and Carol spotted some ducks playing in the  lake..they even told me the exact kind of ducks they were. Cool!
We had a wonderful time and I sure hope they ALL will come along with me on another adventure of painting.


This is my painting from our day at Gold Head.
11 x14 stretched canvas

Any comments are more than welcome!

Gold Head January 2010

 I went to Gold Head last Sunday. This painting is a 11x 14 on stretched canvas. I picked a spot that I liked and tried to give it a go..
I leanred that on Sunday there are a lot of people at the park. At least 10 or more people stopped by and asked me questions about what I was doing. I really didn't know what to say except I was having fun trying to learn how to paint outside (Plein Air). One husband and wife just stood and watched for too long..LOL  So I won't be going back on Sunday unless I pick a  spot that's private. It's not that I don't like people, I do.  But I need time to learn what the heck I am doing.  Big Smile!


I am not sure what I was thinking when I painted the trees. But that is what I did so I left them alone.


Thanks for looking
