To indulge my interest in Plein Air painting I spent some days down at he Shore. I did a workshop with Tom Rutherford, which unfortunately was interrupted with smoke related delays on the Garden State Parkway that prevented my travels at times. Nonetheless, I got to practice some figure sketches on the boardwalk. People walking in different directions give "action" to the picture -- dominated by the giant Octopus

The second was a bright Summer day on the Wildwood boardwalk.. Lots of figures to capture, again moving in different directions. I'm getting better at putting people in the painting. Thanks Tom.
