"SCRAPBOOK SERIES"
"QUIET WALK"
14x14 oil on canvas
This is the beginning of a new series called "THE SCRAPBOOK" Not sure how many will be a part of this, but I must say I am really enjoying what I just painted and excited about what is coming. This is from an old photo that I obtained and the memory of how I have forgotten. But no-mater I must paint on and continue to look for more in my scrapbook.

"Roasted & Ready"
6x6 oil on wood "everything red"
As much as I love painting I love cooking. There is an interesting correlation between the two. Each needs to be planned and figured out as to what comes first, the coloring or the look of the presentation and then what it is going to be presented on so the palate and eyes can feast. So much to think about, but for now, its back to the kitchen, I mean studio...
See you on the next corner.

"HIGH SURF"
6X6 oil on wood
Just another fantastic day in Laguna Beach... This is one of the storms that past through making great waves rumbling the shores along the coast. Love paintings these. The problem is there are so many subjects to choose from. OK! Back to the easel, time is a wasting. See you around the next corner.

"NOW WATER"
With snow coming down I drove in silence. The muffled sound of the road let my thoughts melted away like the snow flakes turning to droplets only to vanish and return again; and to think! All this took place in my imaginary reality staring at a blank canvas.
This painting is 20x20 For questions a simple email at:schwartzart@earthlink.net

"FIRST RAIN"
My challenge is two fold; first is picture the right subject, second is to get the right drops to make a total image. Sometimes everything comes together in one photo but even with that I always add or subtract things giving the rhythm I am looking for to make my painting work.
This painting is in oils on a 30x12 inch canvas gallery wrapped

"L.A. BOUND"
"L.A. BOUND" / UP CLOSE & PERSONAL
Funny how lost I got with ear-buds plugged into my head and wipers keeping in time to the music, made an hours drive seem like a blink.... I had to stop and think, did I run any lights, did I do anything foolish? Coming up to the next stoplight gave me time to look out of my windshield and take in the rain and bright-lights. I love this kind of night.
This painting is 14x14x1.5" on canvas

"Long Beach"
"long beach" 14x14 oil
Continuing on the series "Up Close & Personal" this is yet another. With the light diminishing setting at a stop light it was perfect. One shot with my iPhone and I was on my way with another image to be painted.

"Santa Monica"
This is one of an ongoing series of paintings about light, rain and what happens when camera focus's on just the drops of water. For me it is a magical moment both to see and then paint. Stay tuned for more.

"NO TRAFFIC"
"oil on wood size: 6x6x1.5 inch. get it now for $160 + s/h
Knowing this was going to be a wonderful sunset I pull off on the shoulder kicking up gravel and dust. I shut the engine, get out of my van and head out about 50 yards into the darkening desert. After a time I found a place to get this shot. I knelt down using these two posts of what was left of a fence protecting a long forgotten covered up hole in the ground. Anyway, they made for a nice composition for this crazy artist out on the highways.
Tell next time. Catch ya on the way back.
