Plein Air Painting at the Beach by Sharon Guy

North End, Siesta Beach, Oil on canvas, 8" x 10"

There is a grassy area near the parking area at the North end of Siesta Beach. I backed my car in so I could leave my trunk open and pull my art supplies out for my plein air setup. While facing the water I had a close-up view of the grasses, sea grapes, and weeds. A bunny grazed nearby in the grass for a long time. This was painted very early in the morning.

Plein Air Painting from Georgia by Sharon Guy

Peaceful Pair, Oil on canvas, 10 in. x 8 in.

While traveling home from North Carolina, I stopped at a KOA campground in Richmond Hill, Georgia, near Savannah. They have a beautiful lake full of birds. The swans, ducks, and Canada Geese are well fed by the visitors. I was renting a little rustic cabin on the lake. Having such an incredible view of nature made up for not having a television. I started this painting on site and finished it after I returned home. I also did some detailed drawings of an island on the lake where hundreds of birds roost for the night. Early in the morning, I watched them wake up and fly out while I drank my coffee. For more of my new plein air pieces visit my website at Sharon Guy Art.
