Sunset at the Bluffs - Carpinteria Plein Air Painting - 5x7

You know what moves faster than me? The sun. Sunset scenes seem much harder than those at sunrise because not only does the light change, it disappears completely!

Linden Avenue Morning - Landscape Oil Painting - 6x6

This is what November looks like here.... 

It did get a little chilly the past few days, and somehow it's colder in the house than it is outside? We don't have a heater, but lots of blankets will be just fine :)

Bailard Avenue II - Carpinteria Landscape Painting - 18x24

My new favorite piece. My favorite part is the palm tree shadow on the street. I considered changing the colors down there a little, to more of what they actually were...I'm glad I didn't.

Bailard Avenue - Carpinteria Landscape Painting - 6x12

I feel like it's been forever since I had anything to put in my etsy shop! This painting turned out better than I thought it would, I might turn it into something larger later on.

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.

Breaking Through - California Landscape Painting - 6x6

I love love LOVE painting in my new studio. It's so wonderful to have space again! I was drawn to paint this little scene because there were such interesting colors as the blue sky was finally breaking through that stubborn marine layer.

Something's In The Air - California Landscape Oil Painting - 6x6

I painted this one rather quickly, and that's usually a recipe for disaster, but I'm happy with how it turned out. I think I'm liking all my paintings of sunset better than the ones at dawn, they just feel warmer...which is usually something my color palette lacks, since I favor green and blue so much.

By the Sea II - Carpinteria Landscape Oil Painting - 12x12

Sometimes I like to think of my little 6x6 paintings as oil sketches, they let me test out a composition without a huge commitment. And if I do a little sketch that I think turned out well then I would be a little foolish to not make something more out of it right? I'm a little torn on the subject.

But here is a larger version of one of my smaller paintings from a few weeks ago. I'm trying to get a few more large pieces done for a show next weekend. Of course "large" is only 12x12 since that's all I can really fit in our tiny temp apartment. Hopefully when we move I'll convince myself to work on much larger paintings, that would of course take a lot longer than one day.
