1. Sail boats and Seagulls | Plein Air

Ok, another post for everyone! :) I had a plein air outing this Sunday with my group LA Plein Air at Burton Chase Park in Marina Del Rey. I was enchanted by this lonely little sail boat at the end of the docks looking out to the other side of the Marina. She was a little boat, a little worse for wear, but what really struck me was how beautiful and concentrated the color was in the shadows of the overcast morning light that day. I did have to finish this piece at home though, since I was a bit slow and had lots of people on the pathway stop and ask me questions! ( I was up by the fence to get a good view.) I have been finding I have a hard time keeping track of time anyway - moving quick enough - and had been successful in progress only once when I knew I had to get back to my car before the meter ran out. How does everyone keep track of their time? Do you use a timer? Or does simply knowing you only have an hour or so makes you speed up?
