Last weekend, my family and I went to Dana Point, CA for a little getaway surf weekend. I am not a surfer, but I was excited to spend my weekend on the beach painting. However, it was sooooooo cold that I really wasn't that inspired to paint. I struggled for a bit, and I must say I am not happy with this painting. I must also admit that I usually only like to post my best drawings or paintings, but I think that as an artist, most of us deal with only so so work on occasion. Therefore I want to post this and maybe I will learn something from it, like not expecting perfectionism from myself with every piece of artwork.
Does this even make sense?.....hmmmm.
Sun came out briefly on this shot.

A great day at the beach. Everyone doing something they enjoy!
I like the painting. I think we are our own worst critics. It does sound like you had a wonderful weekend away. It's amazing what being near the sea can do for us.
Perfection, that's a tough one for us all. But good job on your Plein (cold) air piece.
