"L.A. MORNING"
6"X6" oil on wood panel
(Sold)
Another sunny day here in L.A. I think, "And sometimes that a good thing" that because of all the sunshine as an artist living here I see more contrasts and depth of color pertaining to subjects and this shows up in most of my paintings. I feel there is an influence to the minds-eye....Oops! I did wonder from a relatively happy painting.

"OVERPASS"
6"X6"
(SOLD)
Working out the grays and coloring in this was fun to do. This is one of many overpasses in LA that I had a photo to work from. My camera being a part of the tools for me then taking the image, committing it to canvas or in this case wood, and then giving it life and mood makes what I do a wonderful journey.

"CORNER 5&10"
6"X6" oil on wood panel
(SOLD)
It is always great to go into small towns where time stands still for a moment. I worked on this to give the feeling of another area. The style of buildings and coloring played an important factor to the feel I was going for. I kept my brush work loose, "at least loose for me" as not to get into those tight places I find myself going.

"ROOM WITH A VIEW"
24"X20" oil on canvas
For the Laguna Art Festival
Laguna is filled with little streets that meander up and down many hills with most of the homes facing the ocean. Over time many have lost there view of the water. So to have a peek through a window and be able to see the water is a real treat and if your renting such a room you pay top dollar, the more you can see the higher the price....Ah the madness of it all.

"THE CANYON"
24"X30" oil on canvas
This is the drive down to the beach, it is the " The Laguna Canyon." For now it is just a sleepy road, but in four weeks there will be thousands of cars daily heading to the show that I'm in called "The Laguna Festival of the Arts" It is here that I will spend two months, seven day's a-week at smiling, talking, promoting what I'm about to hundreds of people everyday. This is where my bigger canvases are seen and this will be the first time at this show that I'll be showing my blog paintings and will have the opportunity to talk about not just my blog but all of us on the "Daily Painters Gallery" site. This show pulls in 5,000 people a day as a minimum. I hope we all benefit. For two month I will most likely not be able to ad any blogs to the dailies, there is just no time to paint, my painters cloths come off and its slacks & silk shirt time.

"AH! THEY'RE HOME"
6"X6" oil on wood panel
(Sold)
Hello my amigos, sorry to be away for so long, but this show that I keep referring to has kept me from supporting you all. If I wasn't such a perfectionist with my work it would be a snap. I have put together 15 new paintings for this show not counting my blog paintings. I do three shows a year and this is the big daddy of them all. I found this photo from a surprise trip to family and thought it would make a great subject to paint.

"HEAD'N OUT"
(Sold)
For the Laguna Art Festival
I love painting these and was inspired by my own blog "that a lucky lady now has." So here it is again on canvas. To paint shiny objects is just such a thrill and the airstream gives me that need for realism and abstraction all rolled into one painting. "What a joy." The size of this is 24"X30" and as always, painted in oils.

"NOT BAD"
5.5"X5.7" oil on wood panel
(Sold)
I found this photo I had taken a long time ago and with the memories of this trip and the hotel & restaurant where the food was "not bad" I thought it would be fun to paint. There is so much paint on this little panel for I had painted over another so it gave a nice build-up and allowed me to keep it loose and thats a nice treat for me.
