“829. Bodega Bay in Spring” Oil painting by Mariko Irie<\/p><\/div>\n

This location is Bodega Bay, CA.<\/p>\n

I went to there between rainy days. I was tired from rainy days; of cause we need more rain water. Any way I looked the weather.com on the day morning, it was sunny all day.<\/p>\n

So I put my painting gear in my car and heading west to the Ocean.<\/p>\n

My friend recommended me, take Occidental Rd, get Occidental and take Coleman Valley Rd., because along the Coleman Valley Rd. is so beautiful.<\/p>\n

So I did, I got Occidental and went to the Coleman Valley Rd. But I lost. So I took other road to get Bodega Bay\/Ocean. I drove a little North and found small parking spot by the ocean.<\/p>\n

Flowers were blooming, covered the ground, waves were going and coming slowly.<\/p>\n

What a soothing time.<\/p>\n

But the Sun was very hot. When I was painting with Plain Air group, painters told me that not put sunglass on. So I had never painted as putting my sunglass on. But this time the sun was so harsh to my eyes. I was looking the view and my painting palette through my sunglasses, why should not put sunglass on. So I put my sunglass on and painted this painting.<\/p>\n

When I painted sunny day like the day, I painted in the sun without sunglass, the painting got much darker. This time it didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get darker. Just looks fine.<\/p>\n

So I discovered, painting with sunglass is good for my eyes and painting as well.<\/p>\n

After I finished this painting, I saw the road sign across the Hwy 1. It was the Coleman Valley Rd. of cause I took the road coming home. It was beautiful scenery.<\/p>\n

Looking down is Coastline, along the road there are several ranches covered with fresh grass and flowers, and some big rocks. I felt like I were a different world.<\/p>\n

But the road is a narrow\u00c2\u00a0snake road, so it was hard to park my car and take photos.<\/p>\n

I just keep the scenes\u00c2\u00a0only in my memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
