Santa Barbara Harbor, Sailboat Lineup - 9x12

This piece was interesting to paint for several reasons.  The reflections in the water are always a draw for me, but this one also had shadows from the boats on top of the water. I was a little nervous at first, how would I portray this effectively?  But the secret to water is to just paint what you see.

Santa Barbara Harbor, Green Shadows - 8x10

It's my last full day here in NYC. I'm editing this post on my iPhone...which is more challenging than I expected. We did an amazing job at seeing the city in the short time we were here, and now I'm exhausted! And sore. We're taking a break now before our most anticipated activity; Newsies on broadway! So excited!

This painting is easy to explain, I painted it solely because of those gorgeous shades of green in the shadowed parts of the water.

What a beautiful weekend! Could not have asked for better weather or a more wonderful time at the much anticipated Easter service this weekend.  And I'm only a little burnt from helping the kiddos with their painting project afterwards :)
