Oil Sketches: Ft Myers Beach Artist Gretchen

I went to Ft. Myers Beach Art Association. There was no more portrait studio. There were about half a dozen artists working on their individual projects. I did a quick oil sketch of Gretchen who was painting at the table.

In the afternoon, I walked to the beach. There was a couple from Quabec City, Canada. At first I wanted to paint the guy who lay there under the umbrella alone. When the lady came, he sat up and moved to the other chair and left his chair to her. I planned to paint them both. However, when they noticed I was painting, the lady came over to see me paint.
