Morro Rock, and Pelican

I went out to a point that looks back on Morro Bay. There were many dug out Indian bowls in the surrounding rocks. This poor pelican must have died during the night--the vultures and even the bugs hadn't found it yet--it was freshly dead. I posted these two together because I painted the landscape that I saw just above the pelican, so they do go together one on top of the other. Many, many artists have painted and photographed Morro rock, well...here's another! I couldn't finish these yesterday. The wind came up almost as soon as I got out there, so it was cold--I packed it up and finished them today. Check out these two blogs I found, both are very informative about artist's techniques, with information about other artists and both are fun to read, Maggie Stiefvater, and James Gurney. I've linked them onto my blog

Turtle Rock

I felt a plein-air painting calling me today--beautiful weather--I can't believe I live here--this is about a two minute walk from my house. The large rock on the hill juts out like a turtle's head. There are Indian bowls on that hill; embedded in the ground are large rocks with ground out bowls here and there. Lots of poison oak up in them-there hills!
