White House - 6x6

This little house was just too quaint, and the light was hitting it just right.  White houses are my favorite to paint.

Palm Avenue - Carpinteria Landscape Painting - 6x6

I loved painting this one! What a difference a new brush makes! I didn't even realize how destroyed my last one was until I saw what it should look like. I highly recommend these brushes probably the best I've ever used.

Steps of the Capitol - Daily Oil Painting by Sharon Schock - 6x6

This is the capitol building in Pierre South Dakota. I feel like I kind of had an ah-ha moment with this piece...I'm not going to say any more about it, it was something so obvious that I'm embarrassed I hadn't tried it before. But I'm glad I finally did because I'm really happy with how this painting turned out.

Santa Barbara Courthouse IV - Original Oil Painting - 6x6

Also, if you have a Trader Joe's near you, you have to try their Spicy Soy and Flaxseed Tortilla Chips. They're full of fiber and omega 3's and they're delicious!

Orange and Blue II - Still life oil painting - 6x6

I love painting these bright little tangerines, and I love how they look next to our blue dishes. I find orange to be a tricky color to paint with (just how yellow is a tricky color) it's not always as opaque as I want it to be, but I think these little guys turned out all right.

June Gloom - Carpinteria Landscape Oil Painting - 6x6

Well June gloom is officially here, right on schedule. I already miss the sun, clouds are so boring when they don't do anything, like thunder or rain. Maybe I'll just have to learn to like painting fog.

Ruins at Lindisfarne - Landscape Oil Painting - 6x6

There will be a series of paintings of Lindisfarne this week (a tidal island off of the North East coast of England). I found these old photos and remembered how beautiful it was that day that we visited.

The "Holy Island" has an interesting history, if you want you can read more about it here

They Were Off My Path - Daily painting

I used my last cradled gessobord for today's painting. I reordered weeks ago for more but they have yet to come. That means I get to go rummaging through my studio for canvases that I have forgotten about, and everything will get reorganized. Kind of like how I used leftovers of everything to make dinner tonight...it actually tasted really good. So hooray for mid Winter cleaning :)
