Our Town V - Carpinteria Oil Painting - 12x24

I'm afraid I'm a little behind with my daily paintings now, since I spent two whole days working on this larger piece.  I think I need at least a few larger pieces for this upcoming show, so it was worth it. 

There is another reception at the Red Door Gallery tomorrow from 4:00-6:00, please stop by if you're in town! And ask me questions! I need practice in answering them :)

Linden Sunset - 6x6 - & Show Results

I found out yesterday that I won first place in the "Urban/Architectural Landscape" category in the Art Along the Creek show (yay for blue ribbons!).  And second place in the "Figure/Portrait" category... that one really made me laugh, you all know I hardly ever paint people! And certainly not well enough to win an award :)

Linden Sunset - 6x12

Judging went well yesterday, I wish my high school had an art program like that! They even had ceramics and sculpture! 

Below is my attempt to capture one of the prettiest times of day (in my opinion), unfortunately it's also one of the most fleeting.

Our Town III - Original Oil Painting - 9x12

I made lots of progress on my huge painting yesterday, I think I'll be able to finish it today.  The painting below is my new favorite from my "Our Town" series.  I'm trying to decide on what type of painting I should do for the "Carp-A-Cabana" posters this year.  I'm having a little trouble deciding...
