I joined the California Art Club at a retreat in Tomales Bay, California on the week-end of the 25th of October. It was a great time with a wonderful demonstration by Ken Auster on Friday evening, painting from models Saturday evening in the conference room, and this is the painting that I almost completed on site Saturday. The weather was lovely, and now I want to finish this painting and frame it for a show this week-end. I'm planning on joining some artist friends at Guglielmo Winery in Morgan Hill, CA, from 10 - 5......yea.......
