This little, 8x10 inch painting "Evening on Baum Trail" was painted from the southwest deck of my house on the Outer Banks last May. I love the shapes of the houses in this small neighborhood in Duck. Yes the town is named Duck! When you look west from this deck you have a clear view of Currituck Sound and I have posted many paintings here of that beautiful, quiet body of water,
Working from the screened porch on the southeastern corner of the house I painted this view of the ocean during the same trip. I was going after the many colors being reflected in the clouds by the setting sun. Then I got lucky. A sailboat appeared making its way south along the coast. The wind had picked up and so had the surf and I was thinking they were not having a very smooth sail hence the title "Rough Sailing"!

I hope to be posting more plein air work from the beach here later this weekend, however we may be getting a fair amount of rain for a couple of days. At least it won't be the snow that is forecast here at home. I repeat, "any day at the beach is a good day"!
