Oil Painting at the Beach

What a wonderful time!
I hadn't planned on taking another art class, but this one was irresistible.
Going to the beach to paint en plein air once a week for six weeks!
I was in love with the idea of it.
This misty gray morning the six of us met at Wrightsville, the south end no less. We unloaded our copious art supplies on the sand and set up. Teacher Kevin has painted several really pretty beach scenes and demonstrated for us. He suggested colors to use in the sky, water and sand, and we started on our own paintings. Everyone had chosen a small canvas to work on.
Of course, I could have stayed there for the entire three hours just listening to the ocean and watching the changing colors of the sky, but getting to paint with the others was awesome, too.
Here is some of the group shortly after we got there. That is the Oceanic restaurant and pier in the background.
