685. North of Mendocino Headlands
This location is Mendocino Coast CA., looking from opposite North of Mendocino Headlands.
It was sunny day, warm and movement there. There is nice invitation to the environment.
I feel that I captured the quiet moment with calm colors and composition well.
What do you think?

Yesterday we sat up my show. It was cool fresh air in Fort Bragg.

When I was heading south from Mendocino Village, I saw this scene.
“697. Mendocino Sunset” Watercolor painting by Mariko Irie
It graved my heart. So I parked at the vista along the Hwy 1. I enjoyed the sunset: changing the color of sky and dynamic clouds performance.
I’m very grateful to be a painter. During painting this painting, all memory came back. I was inside of this scene. What a wonderful feeling.

Do you see how much I love the Jug Handle State Park?
“683. Colorful Marsh” Watercolor Painting by Mariko Irie
It was right after the last rain in Mendocino Coast, CA.
After our business meeting at the gallery, I got outside. I was surprised that it was still before sunset. So I rushed to the beach. Before I got the beach, I saw this scene.
Gorgeous sunlight from Oceanside, It was breath taking.
The light exited me, but it was in silence.
When I go to Mendocino from Santa Rosa, a lot of times get Mendocino around lunchtime. I bring my lunch with me and come to this spot. I love watching waves, sunset there. Since I lived in Mendocino, this spot is one of my favor places.
Staring at waves for hours, every wave are different, color changes, birds flying by, clouds moving, fog come in, on and on.
“682. Seagulls at Mendocino Headlands” Watercolor painting by Mariko Irie
These seagulls are popular there. Normally there is one or two. But when I try to eat lunch out side of a car, several seagulls come. So I eat my lunch in my car. Also a lot of times it’s very windy.
“681. Cloudy Day at Mendocino Headlands” Watercolor painting by Mariko Irie
It was early spring.
We didn’t get much rain in the last winter. But in spring we had nice rainy days.
Yes, we didn’t get much rain, so I missed rainy days.
It’s cloudy day, birds were playing over the ocean.
Isn’t it nostalgic?
Now a day is much longer. I love it.
The last time I was in Mendocino Coast, I enjoyed beautiful sunset again.
“695. Evening Mendocino Headlands” Oil painting by Mariko Irie
This scene is just after the sun went down. So still a little bit pink left on the horizon.
I guess a lot of people went through the entrance to the Mendocino Headlands on that day as well.
This location is cross Main Street from Gallery bookshop in Mendocino Village.
“694. Sunset at Jug Handle Beach” Oil painting by Mariko Irie
I painted this scene several paintings. But every time the shape of river is different, lighting is different and my feeling is different.
I understand completely that Monet painted several paintings of the Poplars.
This location is Jug Handle Beach, CA from the bridge Highway 1.
Enjoy peaceful sunset time.
Happy Mother’s Day!
“679. Gorgeous End of the Day” Oil painting by Mariko Irie
When I was leaving Mendocino Coast, passing by South of the Mendocino Village, I saw this scene. It was very strong energy. It was marvelous, gorgeous and fantastic.
That was the end of that day. I felt that tomorrow is promised.
