"To the Beach" Honorable Mention
Mantanzas Pass II
These were the two pastels I was able to finish and enter in the competition. The second one called "To the Beach" was done the second day in a bolder style stressing the strong values of the scene. The judge liked that about it. A cloudy day for the first one did not have strong values to depict and it is done is a very traditional style.
We are happy to have more time for other things, like laundry and shopping now, at least once I dig out from the piles here in the studio. I plan to go to the gallery tomorrow and work on more non representational pieces that I've started. We have a show receiving on Friday and I need two for that and 3 for the Ireland show as well. At least two to finish and 5 to frame by that time!!
George is busy tallying the sales and expenses for his report on Wednesday. We are down from last year and think it hurt to be in the more hidden venue rather than the tent outside the shops. Moving the art from there to the tent was a lot of work and we don't plan to do it again. The "Propeller Lounge" however looked great at night and the tables and bar outside in the evening were nice. Even had a beautiful full moon rise over the bay. Good scenery, bad sales.
And now I think a nap..have been up since 3am with very messed up schedule. It must have been that TV interview at 5 am on Thursday!!!
