A big challenge for me is how to make the work I do with the landscape a painting. I love the discipline of going outside to paint. But I am happiest with the work when it conveys a story about the places we painted. Point Molate was easier than most place to grapple with for me. The place was enigmatic and mysterious and I think I got some of that in both paintings I did there. Karen
Rebeca says, Funny we both liked that parking lot with the cars. But like in a story, you included all of the elements of the place, the floating houses, the harbor mistress and her dog, and the water. It works better this way.
