I painted Eagle Rock at the Singing Beach at Manchester By The Sea in plein air in Massachusetts last fall while painting for the Cape Anne Plein Air event. Painted totally in the rain under a very large umbrella awged into the sand I managed to capture the high surf, the beach and the rock headland. My 16 x 20 inch impasto painted board was mostly dry, but the back of my coat was totally soaked as it was just outside the umbrella. It was high tide and the waves were so huge, they reached to the top of the rockface, one after another! It was amazing and I loved every moment!
