The first day on San Miguel I stayed on the boat and painted.I did one 8 x 10 looking at the north point of the bay. In the background you can see the faint outline of the mainland 45 miles away. I was fairly satisfied with it and when lunch was served, I left my set-up outside. This was not a good move because during lunch the wind came up and almost blew my whole set up over the side of the ship. Luckily all that happened was that the painting fell into my palette adding a row of the primary colors to the side of the painting. I cleaned up everything and got it out of harm’s way.
David said that he has been coming to San Miguel Island off and on for the last five years and this was the first day that the seas and winds were calm and the weather was warm. We were so lucky! It was just gorgeous! In fact it even got almost too warm.
