Last Haul Of The Day 1

I can recall the moment and feel of this little painting. We were sitting on our hotel balcony. The fog was rolling back in and this vessel was heading in to Noyo Harbor. I love this little town of Fort Bragg, California. It has so many spots of awe.

Noyo Night

This little harbor is obviously my latest muse. I'm exploring night scenes too. I love the colors of the night they tend to be more intense. Plus I just bought some new pastels from Terry Ludwig. The most requested violets are just delicious. But I digress. This is watercolor not pastel. I do intend to explore this scene in pastel too.

El Granada Pier New Years Day

Earlier in the day on New Years Eve we had lunch at the Princeton Seafood Company. I wanted to paint some boats so we walked around for a bit and I got in two little trading card images of the boats and people. When we got home I worked from the trading card image to create this painting which is 8 by 10 inches.

Working Vessel

Another painting from the many visits to Point Richmond during my holiday in Northern California. I did a 3 by 5 watercolor as my last plein air piece of the day. I worked up the pastel that evening.

Marina I

More imagery from the Berkeley Marina.
