Plein Air - Ocean View


This weekend I decided that I was going to start going out to paint somewhere besides my back yard!  I have been looking for someone to go out and paint with to no avail.  I would prefer  to go to remote spots but I am leery of strangers coming up behind me knocking me in the head!  This morning I decided to try the park close to my home but after scouting a few spots, I settled on this view of the Chesapeake Bay in Ocean View.  That is what used to be Harrison's fishing pier now, I guess, Boone's fishing pier, in the background.  (Actually it is now the Ocean View Fishing Pier.)  I spent about two hours painting.  The painting is on a 9x12 stretched canvas, painted in oils.
