Saturday Plein Air Art group at Las Hamacas

Nine artists met around 8:30 a.m. at this hotel and beach restaurant. As always my first choice is to look for shade that hopefully will last the paint out. I tucked myself beside the building on the sand and had a wonderful time watching the fishermen and all the birds coming to feast, food for all! I painted on an 8" x 10" gallery wrapped canvas my friend Peg gave me before she left (a wonderful gift!!). The canvas depth was to deep to sit on my easel so I had to prop it up on a stick. It is interesting to paint when your canvas is not straight! 

​I had arrived a little early as I have a hard time deciding on what to paint and my procrastination then includes chatting to the other artists. I had more time to just focus on what interested me. At first it was the view of the calm ocean through the hammock, then the 3 men fishing.
