"Manhattan Beach Pier"

When the marine layer blankets the coast, color kinda disappears.  This was a quick painting experimenting with values.

Kayaking at Sweetwater

Whenever I think of Sweetwater Lake I think of kayaking. I don't do it so much but we have 2 kayaks and whenever mom can or my sister Deb can.... they do! It's always best early in the morning before the speedboats are allowed to ramp it up at 10 AM. The lake is so calm and quiet.
