The Spot III - 6x12

I really want one of my paintings of this place at the Red Door Gallery next month.  The problem is you guys buy them too quickly! Which of course I'm thankful for, but I'm still going to hoard this one away and mark it "exclusively available at the Red Door Gallery", so if you want it you have to go visit my show :)

Sunset Colors - 6x6

I absolutely love this time of day, when everything gets all golden, it adds beauty to things that I wouldn't have noticed before.

The Spot, Sunset - 6x6

I'm trying very hard to get ready for all the upcoming shows this summer, check out my events page for more information on them.   I really enjoyed painting this new take on The Spot, it felt so dramatic, I love the contrasts that happen during sunset.

Corner House Carpinteria - 9x12

I liked the small version I did of this house so much that I knew I needed to do a larger one.

Sandyland Sunrise - 8x10

I have some big shows coming up this summer!  I think I may have overcommitted myself a bit, hopefully I can handle it.  It just means that I'll be painting like a mad woman for the next month or so, and probably hoarding my new paintings so I don't sell out before the show. 

I'm really happy about this new painting.  I have always loved this spot at sunrise, but never quite figured out compositionally how to paint it.  Finally it "dawned" on me (wow, I hate myself for typing that, but Zach loves puns, so I'm going leave it).

Every time I stop at Trader Joe's this little section of Milpas St. stands out to me.

Santa Claus Lane Beach House - 8x16

I'm so happy with this one,  I almost talked myself out of even starting it, but I'm glad I didn't.

Our Town - Carpinteria Oil Painting - 11x14

I love how this one turned out.  When I started it I expected it to be painful and challenging to complete, but it turned out to be one of those rare wonderful happenings where the painting you want just flows right into existence.  

I'm excited about today, I have lots of time to paint this afternoon and I'm going to try out a few new techniques.  Maybe something good will happen :)
