After painting together en plein air at Three Tables Beach, some members of the group got together at Marina’s North Shore home on Sunset Beach just a few minutes away to eat and make more music. It was like paradise, as we got a chance to paint on a sunny day with no gale force winds blowing and knocking down our easels, while watching the surfers play all day. Our group is accustomed to hearing our maestro, Mark Brown, break out into song while painting, so we got a chance to hear him again accompanied by other singers and guitar players. We were also treated to the Russian duet with mother and daughter singing Russian songs.

Lyrics for Pegasik:

Since our birth we are captives of Movement. Dizzy from the head wind, we are passing all those who are at rest.We want to know what is ahead of us, what is after that turn. Our trip is long, but our life is short.The main thing for us is to reach our destination, if only we had enough air!But it seems like the Universe is laughing at us, as there is another horizon after each turn.And only trees are crying and wishing us, Good Luck.* “Pegasik” – is diminutive from Pegasus.

Sunset Beach is renown for its big wave surfing during the winter season. Marina informed us that this was a great place to enjoy the sunset, so we walked to the beach, just steps away. It definitely was a treat for us. We also needed some foreground for the sunset photos, so the the young surfers and Maria graciously posed as models for us.
