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

Hollister Peak with Venus Rising

Hollister Peak is an inactive volcano, one of a series of seven that form a line from the ocean floor to ten or twelve miles inland. This is the view looking east from my front porch. I added the shiny planet Venus (the planet of love and beauty), because it has been in the eastern early morning sky for awhile and is so incredibly bright. I've been getting up early lately to see it.
