Feeling a bit under the weather, so decided to paint something
sunny and cheery. So lets travel back to Catalina Island.
I spent a few days there April 2010 to work on art for
benefiting Catalina Island Conservancy. You can
view one of my posts with another scene of
Avalon Town here.
Catalina Island is 22 miles off the Coast of Southern California,
so boats are the mode of transportation to get there. All dock at
Avalon, which the Town of Avalon 2 depicts, where little houses
and cottages are nestled at the base of mountains. And so much
to do with kayaking, hiking, fishing, beaches topped with
shopping and eating!
Just discovered that it's the 30th birthday of Catalina Express,
one of the boats that travels to the Island. So they are offering a
free ride to anyone on their own birthday! Just have to sign
up through their website, which is linked above.
I just may go back for more fun in the sun!
It's amazing how much you pack into a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch painting. Crazy color!!
ReplyDeleteSusan...I must say this may be my favorite Catalina painting of yours. Well done my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol and yes, a lot going on in that tiny square. Almost need sunglasses when painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie. Going there for your birthday? Cool deal.
Browsing through your blog this morning and am so taken by your rich color! Didn't notice at first how small this piece is . . . love the contrast between the velvety mountains and white buildings . . . so lush!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorraine.
ReplyDeletePastels are so vibrant which is a huge reason for their use. My case, they aren't speedy for untypically I build all work up by layering and stick
pressure. I never blend.
