Lauterbrunnen Waterfall - 6x6

Just got back from a weekend in Denver. Saw some great thunderstorms, played Catan, saw how candy canes are made, ate way too much food, celebrated big birthdays, and located a car battery. Now back to work! 

This is another piece from that rainy day in Switzerland.  We were on a pretty miserable hike that day, my feet were soaked, and my throat hurt, but I got a lot of good painting material from it, so I guess it was worth it.

Mount Pilatus Church - 6x6

We took the cogwheel train up Mt. Pilatus while we were in Lucerne.  This little church building was up on it's own cliff, I have no idea how people get to it.  But there must have been a way because there were people walking around outside.  I managed to snag this shot while we were in the cable car on the way back down.

Cloudy day in the Lauterbrunnen Valley - 8x10

I know I'm a fool for even trying to paint part of the alps (they are far too beautiful). But these clouds made it just too tempting.

Montana Clouds - 15x30

This is a big one for me.  I was in one of those moods where I wanted to paint something big, and just throw paint around for a while. These big cloud paintings are always good for that.

Montana Sky - 6x12

Another skyscape today, this one feel like summer to me.

South Dakota Clouds - 6x6

I played around with a bright red background for this painting.  I like to switch up my panel tones every once in a while, but I always end up coming back to my trusty old burnt sienna wash.

Lady Liberty - 6x6

I couldn't resist, I had to have a go at this, just to see what would happen.  Plus the sky was pretty fun that day,

In other news, the show opening at the Tennis Club last Friday was awesome! Thanks to everyone who came out to see it!
One of my favorite parts of the night? When my friend Nif came up to me and said "Sharon, Elaine from Seinfeld is looking at your paintings" lol, love it.

New York City Street - 10x20

Another painting from my New York trip.  I was so excited about this one that I knew I had to paint it larger than normal.

Three Boats - 9x12

This is probably my favorite of the new harbor paintings I did for the Tennis Club show (opening tomorrow). I really love how the water turned out, and I had fun getting a little loose with it.

MOMA Self Portrait - 6x6

A similar painting to yesterday, except this one has me in it! I really wanted to feature this particular painting but no one would stand in front of it just right, so I had to do it myself.

MOMA Klimt - 5x7

I found a new game to play while I was at the MOMA.  This was fun to paint because I got to reproduce a Klimt painting and try to reproduce the look of interior lighting on a figure...not the easiest thing to do.
