The Art of Glass: Kayaking with Google Glass

Kayaking Inverness with Google Glass from Colleen Proppé on Vimeo.

July 3-5th, 2013

I took a two day trip to Inverness to take my dog away from the fireworks.  She is terribly afraid of them, and I can't stand to see her suffer.  Good excuse to escape the 96 degrees it was in San Anselmo, and venture out to Inverness, where it was only 76 degrees with a great breeze off the water.  Tomales Bay Resort has wifi all over the large property, and they have several dog friendly rooms.  Mine had a kitchen too, all for less than you might pay for one night in the city.  You can use the money you save to reserve a kayak next door at Blue Waters.  Tomales Bay Resort will even book your kayak trip for you! A great escape from the hot suburbs of Marin during a heat wave.  If you have questions, ask me in the comments.  I've lived in Marin for 18 years now, and this is one of my favorite places to escape to.

I started blocking out the colors and shapes in this painting today. I did another painting of this boat this spring for my show at the Two Bird Cafe, but that painting was a close up of the boat. This one is much more of a landscape that happens to have the boat as one of it's elements.

In the Studio Today... Inverness Boat; Session #4

Friday, March 30, 2007

Final session on the "Inverness Grocery Boat". I have decided to leave out the writing on the boat that says, "Pt. Reyes". I think most people who see this will know where it is from. The biggest additions today have been the left side of the painting: I worked on the "right" side of the boat's bow, which was a previous swatch of yellow paint, and the grasses below this section of the boat are more detailed today.

This is actually a session from last Friday. Today, I spent my painting time doing yard work, so I am going to have to wait until Thursday to paint again. Although this painting is not quite finished, I am going to start a new painting on Thursday and Friday, and take a break from adding details to the boat. I have been wanting to paint a large landscape of Heart's Desire Beach, and I will start that one this week.

Another hour or so of detail today, especially focusing on the sand. A couple areas of the sky I see I do not like, but will work on.

I love this boat. I'm sure I will paint it a hundred times or more and enjoy it every time. There are so many colors in the shadows, and reflections in the water surrounding the scene. This is after the first hour of painting, blocking in the colors.
