I mostly rested and recharged this week while I was on Cape Cod, but I did a few quick little plein air beach studies, including this one.

Here's another little study that I'm not as happy with, but I'm sharing so you can see the plein air setup I used. This is the Pochade Palette - it's very lightweight with a magnetic steel surface on the top part to hold your painting, and a brush pocket on the back.

@TishaPaints Always admire artists who dare to capture seascapes in smaller-than-life formats.
@12thRITS Thank you! It's a fun challenge!
@TishaPaints I walk #MarineStreetBeach in #SanDiego every couple of days and can only attemt to catch the beauty of this 1/4-mile-long patch of sand with cell phone videos.
@12thRITS So beautiful! There's something so restorative (and inspiring!) about walking along a beach, or just being there, listening and watching. Thank you for sharing that!
