"FIRST STOP"

On one of my many road trips looking for the right subject to paint (which by the way is a battle with the changing of my taste and what I want to say in each painting). It is a constant hunt for the right sky as that is my muse to talk about in my work. So, on this last trip after driving around for hours I finely make my first stop at this motel and take a photo of "you guessed it" the sky.  This is a 6x6inch original oil painting on wood mounted to a varnished wooden box: (SOLD)

"STEAM MAKER"

Ah Yes! I got to paint yesterday at the show.  I set up my easel and began to do what I love best "PAINT".

It truly felt great to mix colors and feel the paint move across the surface of my birch-wood box's.  My rhythm broken with good conversations with passerby's who stopped to see and then I would direct them to my booth and talk about the Daily Painters, it is wonderful to know how many people are hearing about us, one such lady made it a point to find me as she has been fallowing my posts.  So here is an ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING, all done on Birch wood that has been mounted on a varnished wooden box so no framing is needed, the size is 8x6 inches. (Sold)

"SUNSET & SHADOWS"

This painting is based on the close-up  of one of my larger paintings I  did for my up coming show this summer at Laguna Festival
You can see the original painting I took this section from if you go to Festival 2010
I painted this in oils much like I would a water color painting using lots of transparent colors giving a very soft feel to it.  Being intrigued by the shadows and light flowing through the trees. made for a delightful journey for me.  The size of this is 6x6 inches painted on Birch wood that has been mounted on a wooden box that I varnish.  (Sold)

"SIDE STREED"

Driving around at night was wonderful, I had no idea of where we were going at all.  It was like being lost and didn't care, I just sat back and clicked my camera at shadows and stuff of the night.  The coloring in this painting is a deep gray blue background  giving the lights and glare  a warm glow.  The painting is 6x6" on my Birch wood varnished box:
