Clouds Over Carpinteria - 8x10

The beaches have been crowded here thanks to the very warm weather, but it's still nearly empty when Lily and I go at 9 am...which also happens to be when the colors seem to be the clearest.

Leadbetter Beach - 18x24

We've been working the last month or so on moving my studio.  New spaces always take some getting used to.  This is one of the last pieces painted in my old place.

Butterfly Beach - 12x12

So we finally got my new computer up and running (why is that such a painful process??) and I'm trying to calibrate the monitor and it's making me question everything!

Here's the new one for today, one of my favorite beaches:

Groovy Red Pepper - 5x7

I discovered that my toddler will eat red peppers! Well, only if she gets to dip them in hummus... but it still gave me the opportunity to capture these curvy red pepper shapes, which were surprisingly fun to paint!
