Painting beautiful Santa Catalina, again....

"The three Amigas"  Me, Terry d Chacon and Nita Harper.  We all have so much fun painting together.  Catalina is always the highlight of our painting excursions.  I think this is my 7th or 8th year painting in Avalon with these ladies.  It is always a great time of painting and discovering this lovely island.  It is such a great escape in the summertime to get away from the heat of the mainland.

The first painting after getting of the boat and settling in our condo. 

Pebbely Beach Morning"  one of our favorite spots. The only issue here is that it is near the helicopter landing area.  In the past the small helicopters that land are not a problem, but this time, a Sheriff helicopter flew in and when landing, it blew away some of our gear.  I did manage to hold onto my pastel box, but our hats and other things that were not inside our packs blew down the beach.  Oh well, the fun of plein air painting.   

"Eucalyptus Grove of Mt Ada"  this is one of my favorite spots.  The eucalyptus grove is old and it overlooks Avalon.  

"There was a Crocked House"  Seems like everything was a little off in this painting.  Oh well, sometimes the paintings work, and other times they don't.  

"Colors of Avalon"

"Beach and taco stand on the pier"

"Moon Over Avalon"  night painting is always one of the fun things we do here in Catalina. 

This is our little golf cart that comes with the condo we stay in.  It has liberated us while on the island to go anywhere we want to paint.   

Good by beautiful Santa Catalina, until next year....
