Day 7 - Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days

Mission Bell
4" X 6"
$40

Today I am playing catch-up in the 30 in 30 Challenge. Yesterday was an all day travel day from California back to Virginia. My seating situation on the flight didn't allow for painting.

The subject of "Mission Bell" is one of the approximate 400 bells placed as guideposts places along the El Camino Real in California in the early 1900's. California Bell Company is still in business, if you would like to get your own. This particular one is on Rio Road in Carmel, CA just uphill from the Carmel Mission. I lived a bit further up and over the hill, but occasionally walked this road to go to the Farmer's Market. I will probably paint a picture of the Carmel Mission too, before the month is over.
