Not your pigeon!

 Can't vouch for why my camera distorts my paintings, but at least you'll get the idea. We had 30 painters out today at Pigeon Point in Pescadero, CA. I got this one, 12x9" pastel on dark gray Pastelmat. Looks better in person.

Puttin' on the Ritz

 We painted all around the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay.




Bodega Head

 Which is not either a stoner nickname nor a euphenism for a hangover. Had a great time with the bikers in Bodega Bay and got some painting in to boot.







Le Conte Trail

 We had over 25 painters today fanned out across Le Conte Trail. Lovely work all around. I got this one pastel that looks great in the natural light in which it was painted, but looks terrible inside and is simply very difficult to reproduce with cell cameras or scanning.

Le Conte Trail, 12x9" pastel on Maize Pastelmat. B. Charlow 2021. Montara, CA.

Please excuse the reproduction, which doesn't do it justice. I'm having the devil of a time getting true repro from my pastels these days.
