Some of the sketchers and painters.

This is my little 5x7 inch oil done on canvas board at the sketch and paint out today. I still want to clean it up and change some of it. All the same blue bothers me.

Oceanside Marina and Harbor

Susan, Joan and I went to Oceanside Marina and Harbor to check out the location of our next Sketch and Paint Out. We did a little sketching then had Fish and Chips.
