PURE PLEASURE

I called this painting Pure Pleasure as it was a pure pleasure to paint it.  I had previously done a smaller study on location called One Duck and shown earlier in my blog.  I then used it to enlarge this at the same location (Irvine Park in Orange County, CA).  I paint here often and also enjoy going there to walk my dog (a Cairn Terrier).

I was so happy yesterday to hear that I was given a 2nd place award for the painting by the Southern California Plein Air Painters (with a nice cash award).

ONE DUCK - SOLD

This is another painting at Irvine Park.  I have an annual pass and it is near my home so it's always very tempting.  This is the small waterfall with the bridge that crosses it.  It was a very peaceful afternoon with a few ducks out enjoying the quiet.  I decided to include one duck, although he is not very obvious, just for fun.  I didn't make him stand out as I didn't want him to be the focal point.
