Under The Leaves

Another kitchen counter painting. With a floral arrangement, one can make many paintings.

Pudding Creek Bridge

This bridge was closed for a while. Now its used by those getting in their morning runs or those getting to work at the hotel. It can produce some pretty nice shadows in the afternoon.

From the Pier 9

Ninth in the series.

Keepers

"Keepers" refers to the store at 6th and Congress that deals in mens clothing. Since the store plays a part in this picture I included the name of the store for grins. I guess I am in the process of painting a series based upon Austin bus stops.

I was walking around downtown Austin and saw this intimate setting. I call it table for one and a half. The area was filled with people enjoying a festival and this little space represented quiet amongst the people storm.

Pose Stricken

I photographed this lady from across the street at Sixth and Congress in front of Starbucks. I liked the hand on the hip and the sense of confidence she exuded. This is a study. I plan on doing a large format pastel for an upcoming show.

La Jolla Rock

I did this painting from a photo taken during my trip to La Jolla. California. It was taken from a weird angle and I thought it would be hard to paint. I started out using just black and white to establish my value scale. I added the color last with the goal of maintaining the values that I established in black and white. This area was truly amazing. I understand what La Jolla means "the jewel" in English.

Familiar Rocks

Over the years I've contemplated these rocks from our balcony many times. I have painted it on numerous occasions. This was done on site with a very vigorous grouping of waves. I finished it in about an hour. Working on site I get the opportunity to actually see whats in the shadows.

Oceanside Bush

Normally I focus on the ocean when painting on the coast. The sun was too bright reflecting off of the ocean so I went to the tree for a break. The high sun gives the ocean an almost grey appearance-something similar to a mirror. During this visit I learned to focus on the small things and paint something different.

I'm still thinking on this painting. My vantage point was the balcony of our room. Part of me thinks that the rock at the very top is a distraction. I do however like the waves and glow of the painting.

Sunlit Wave

This is my second post of the paintings completed while in Fort Bragg, California. I liked the sun peeking through the crest of this wave. I finished about 15 pieces. I plan to post more of them.

Cat Sitting

This is not finished I still have to work on the skin tones for the boy and the fur on the cat. It was inspired by a photo of a young boy at an adult party. He clearly had found better company than the adults. It gives me a sense of the sweetness that only young children have.
