Day 6 #stradaeasel

My day 6 painting is 

“1200. Watmaugh Rd. ”

Oil painting on 6” X 12” Gessoed panel 

By Mariko Irie

Today it would get hotter than yesterday, Yikes!!

When I awaked, already it was light.

Then sky get blue, clouds shown in sunrise light.

What beautiful, glorious clouds.

The light didn’t last long enough to paint🙁.

I liked the huge trees’ shade like an parasol where I parked and painted yesterday,

So I went to there, and painted the another view from that location.

After 10am, already it was getting very warm. A little breath of air helped me to finish my painting.😊

I painted this scene inspired by the photo Janet Ashford posted.

You may know this location.

It’s on Main Street in Mendocino Village, CA.

On the left side is ocean side, Ford House and on the right side is Kelly House.

This fantastic lights changed the atmosphere dramatically, don’t you think?

When I was painting this, I felt beautiful energy through my body.

Thank you Janet for sharing your photo.

And she commented on Facebook “How wonderful, Mariko. Thank you for this very special painting of my photo.” And she love to purchase this painting😊

1118. Sun behind Fog

This location is Jug Handle State park, CA.

“1118. Sun behind Fog” Oil painting by Mariko Irie 2021

After sunny, hot and windy days, fog dims the light, releases the tension, and relaxes our body and mind. It’s soothing.

And it take us to wonderland, doesn’t it?

A customer who purchased my painting “545. Peace at Jug Handle Beach”, sent his photo with “I was driving from Mendocino to Fort Bragg in November 2018 and out of nowhere fog started to rush in. I pulled into the parking lot at Jug Handle, ran down the steps to the beach and captured this on my cell phone. It was not a peaceful fog—actually tumultuous—but it left peace in its wake. We think alike.”

It inspired me to paint this painting. It’s not gloomy fog. This fog atmosphere helps release our stresses and strains. Sparkles dancing on waves makes us smile sweetly.

Thank you Larry for sharing the nice moment.
