I went out to paint when the edge of Sandy was going by, it was just windy. Had a nice walk on the beach too.
I
like to start off with a fast sketch before I do the painting to warm
up and catch any compositional problems. The wind was blowing strong
and it looked like rain so I parked under a pavilion at Fredrick Douglas
park on the beach. I got my sketch finished and the rain started
coming down, well not down really more like across, it was blowing
pretty horizontal. Got soaked on the way to the car which was about 20
feet away.
Last night I pulled out my sketch and made the painting below from it, its 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite. $200.

Daily Painting 1463 Approaching Storm
I was born in Ft. Pierce and lived there all my life. I have an Associate in Art degree from the Indian River Community College in Fort Pierce. I consider myself primarily self taught.
I am a member of Plein Air Florida, and the leader of Plein Air Painters of the Treasure Coast. My paintings are in art collections worldwide.
I have co-published an article in Plein Air Magazine.
I have contributed paintings to Art for Nature, Heathcote Botanical Gardens, Habitat for Humanity and various other charities.
I love painting outside using the painting knife. I love the rich texture and lustrous effects I can get with the knife.
My studio is located in my home on Indian River Drive in Fort Pierce. I use both of my names in my art, Lori McNamara and Lenore McNamara.
I can be reached at lori.mcnamara@gmail.com
