| Cliff Walk View - In Progress |
This year we drove to Newport, RI in late June for a weekend getaway and painting trip. There are hundreds of scenes worth painting and settling on a location is tough. Our love of walking invariably pays off in that we often spot on foot places to park and set up that would be easily missed while driving. This spot was at the halfway point of Cliff Walk at a dead end street.

The day was glorious - bright and sunny and just warm enough. This scene faces northeast, so the sun and water glare was to my right. It did get easier to see as the sun moved, but my eyes did take a beating. I remember stopping to look around and thinking, what an amazing world, and how lucky are we to be surrounded by all the elements of nature we revere - sun, ocean, breezes, roses. After painting, we followed the trail to the southern terminus before looping back to take a more unbiased look at our freshly painted works.
