Hillside Trees

A little landscape I painted a few years ago. I was experimenting with Golden Acrylics.

Inlet Near Bay Bridge

I spent some quality time with Pam for the New Year. We stayed close to home and I got to explore and paint around Point Richmond. I am always amazed at the things right in the backyard like Point Richmond. Point Richmond is a working harbor area plus a nice chunk of scenery. I painted this scene the last morning of painting. I haven't worked in acrylic in a while so I consider this a warm up piece. Pam pointed this inlet out the second day of painting.

Storm 1

This is the first painting after completing a value study and two color studies. I used Uart 800 grit paper. The next painting has a watercolor underpainting using complimentary colors. Scenery is Fort Davis, Texas area. I need to go back there for a painting holiday.

Distant Storms 2

A friend recently caught this image while on vacation in the Fort Davis area. This the second exploratory sketch.

Plein Air Upgrade III

The third in the series of ocean sunset paintings.. The original is 5 by 7 inches and painted oil on copper. This is 20 by 24 inches. I think this set of paintings would make a great triptych. I wasn't really married to the colors used in the study.

Rock Steady in Progress

This where I am with this one. Its fun and a real challenge to get the look of water flowing as you look down on it. I should be finished soon because these can easily be over worked.

Stage 4

Tonita SF

This is the study for "Out for More". After taking the photo of this piece I noticed an area that needs a little paint. I will post the finished version soon.
