Emeryville Waterfront

Emeryville Waterfront  acrylic on canvas  20 by 30

On our second trip to Emeryville no one showed up.  It had been windy the week before. This time the wind was not as bad and I decided to stay because the light was really beautiful.  I exagerated the movement of the water.   Karen Zullo Sherr

Emeryville Marina

On Monday, April 16 we return to the Emeryville Marina.

From 80 west take the Powell/ Emeryville exit  and turn left on the Frontage road and right on Powell.  Follow Powell to the marina area.  As I recall there are a lot of parking lots. Lets park at the one near the Chinese restuarant.  After we are all there we can go explore and decide where at the marina we will paint.

We will meet at the Emeryville Marina on Monday, March 26 if the weather cooperates.

While I was painting this view of the water and boats, a nice professional photographer, Nick Sebastian, engaged me in conversation. He took pix of our group and here they are. That's Rebeca in the beige hat.

The water level changed a lot while I was painting. When I started out, the water was so low that rocks and mud were visible (as you can see from the photo of my painting-in-progress). But after a couple of hours had passed, the water rose enough to cover all of that, as shown in the finished painting. This was a little frustrating, but the underwater detail I established early probably helped make the water look more realistic later on.
