Our plein air outing was to the city of Suisun which has a marina. The weather predicted to be very hot in California but not here. The wind were strong and cooled everything down. I had to put on a sweatshirt. You could sell anyone on Suisun living if the wind wasn't blowing. This is the origin of the delta breeze that keeps us all cool during the summer months. The country side if pocked with wind turbines. We had a couple of hours to paint and I chose a complex scene of boats. My plan was to stick to symbols and not bone out boat details. I used a staccato of spots of dark paint and a few bright warm colors. It is tempting to keep adding detail but I stopped and went to lunch at a wonderful Greek restaurant on the water.
