Last week of summer

Here we are. One more glorious week left of this amazing summer. I took off on my bike this morning with my painting gear and was amazed at how quiet it is at the beach. I guess everyone is out "back-to-school" shopping.

I brought my 8 x 10 pochade and lightweight tripod that are easily transportable on my bike. 

I did this facing the sun. It got so hot that I had to get under some shade, so I turned around and did this one from under a tree. 

 I love the rustic look of the cedar trees everywhere.
Nature's own landscaping.

  2. These are really nice, as usual! Now that I have a place to store one, I will be looking for a bike to do some adventurous plein air next year.
