Elk Crossing

 

I was last in Northern California in January. We took a trip to the Point Reyes National Seashore. The elk were all over the place plus other forms of wildlife. At times we would literally stop for a herd to cross the road. I was shooting in manual mode on my camera and some of the shots didnt get the details of the elk. I used one of those images as a jumping off point with regard to color. I did the initial drawing with a Keurotaki brush pen on St. Armand paper. I then added the pastel.

Bayside Point Reyes

We ended up on the bay side of Point Reyes National Seashore. I painted this in the afternoon as it was getting cooler and the breeze was picking up. I sat down on the ground with my Guerrilla paint box and committed this scene to my memory. I didnt take many pictures with my camera this visit. I relied on my own camera with my hands, eyes and paints.

California Pasture

We were exploring the bay portion of the Point Reyes National Seashore and came upon this beautiful scene. Of course I had to take numerous photos. This is the first attempt at painting this image.

Point Reyes Bay 2

This is the second painting competed during our trip to Point Reyes Bay over the holidays. We saw these yellow flowers growing on the bay and reflecting in the water. Pam pulled over. It was starting to rain so this took about 3 minuets

Point Reyes Bay 1

We were back on the Point Reyes National Seashore for this visit also. I drew this from the picnic tables near the wrecked boat behind the deli. We explored the bay for this visit.
