I had the privilege to visit a private beach today on Tomales Bay; a spot that is right across from Marshall, CA. The beach is owed by the Doughty family, who run Pt. Reyes Winery, where we will be having our October 24, group show.
What a lovely spot it was today! Some of their extended family were there, celebrating a Birthday today, just enjoying the warmth of the sun and the beach views. Two of the toddlers came up to me and wanted to paint. I had some small, 4 x 4 and 6 x 6 canvases, so I let them each take one and paint some strokes. It was really great how enthusiastic they were. The little boy even painted on my painting, and it was no problem, as I was just getting started. He really wanted to help me out! I think it is wonderful how children have no fear of painting, and just burst right into it. Had my sons been there, I'm sure they would have wanted to paint too. I overheard the family saying how nice the kids canvases were and how that was such a great Birthday present for their mom. Too cute.
