The Palms at Pelican Cove

What a joy to paint at The Palms on Pelican Cove Beach on Friday morning! It was a perfect beach day and we were all inspired by the loveliness!

There was a strong breeze on the beach: so strong that I had to hang my half-filled backpack from my easel to weigh it down to keep my canvas from shaking to the rhythm of the buffetting wind! Not complaining! The coolness accompanying those breezes were delightful! The waves coming into shore were impressive! Out at sea there were 10' swells!

It was a great plein air morning!
