Last week my 5 of my artists friends and I traveled to Avelon, on Catalina Island, for three days of painting. We arrived about 1:30 pm, and after we checked into our hotel and had a late lunch, we all walked about to start painting. We settled on a nice location with vistas of the casino and of course all the boats in the harbor. I started to paint the view of the Casino, but found that it was not working for me. I rubbed it out, and made this quick painting of the boats not to far from our view. There was someone fishing in their small boat while their friend watched, from another little boat.
Later that evening we went out, and painted the lights of Avelon. I choose the lights on the pier. The glow from the teal green contrasted with the red from the boats was magical. We had little lights we hooked to our easles. I must say we also atraceted quite the audiance, as folks are accustomed to seeing plein air painters in Avelon, but I guess not to many paint at night. I had not done this before, but found the experience allot of fun.

I love your night-time at the harbor painting. Lots of blues and purples like Artists reflecting in the sky and water, the view is just one big Jewel !
