Salt Marsh Clouds - 18x24

I painted this one a while ago, but I couldn't photograph it until now.  They were replacing our roof last week and dropping nails and stuff everywhere, I didn't want to risk taking it outside.  Thank goodness they're finally done! A week of pounding was not fun at all.

Most of the time I hate painting on canvas, but for certain subjects I prefer it, I don't know what it is!

Clouds in the Salt Marsh - Carpinteria Oil Painting - 18x24

My show at Corktree Cellars goes up tomorrow, I'm excited but I'm nervous too. Ever since I found out (8 days ago) I've been painting non stop... large, and non stop. I felt like I was in school again, and I had a cumulative final that I wasn't prepared for at all. But I did manage to finish 5 new large pieces, this is one of them:

I was trying out a new painting surface with this one....WORST panel ever, it was like trying to paint on water. I really do not recommend Speedball gessoed panels.

Sun in the Salt Marsh - California Daily Painting - 6x12

I got to see In the Heights at the Pantages Theater in LA this weekend, I feel like I've been waiting forever to see it! It was worth the wait :)

Today's painting is another view of the Carpinteria Salt Marsh, with the sun breaking through the clouds... only two days left of June, hopefully the gloom is almost over!

Breaking Through II - Carpinteria Landscape Painting - 6x6

This painting doesn't really portray my usual color palette... the sky is much more pastel-ish than I would usually prefer. But that's how the sky felt that morning, so I guess I can't complain.

Carpinteria Salt Marsh III - Landscape Oil Painting - 12x12

Today I'm playing the "where can I possibly photograph my painting without a glare" game. It's my least favorite part of moving to a new place. I think I might have better luck on our patio later in the day. But this will have to do for the moment, it's much prettier in person. I gave the canvas a few extra coats of gesso before I started which gave the painting an interesting texture.

We don't have internet set up in our new place, so for now I'm driving back to our temp apartment to blog. Thanks for all those entering my giveaway :) I love reading all your comments. It made yesterday a much better day, unpacking was horrible, but the worst part was trying to get Charlie, my giant orange cat, who I swear is nothing but muscle, into his carrier. Let's just say I can no longer wear one of my shirts because it's torn and blood stained... I also have quite the battle wound on my torso.

Morning Fog II - Carpinteria Salt Marsh Oil Painting - 6x6

I really like how this painting of the Carpinteria Salt Marsh turned out. I love how every time I look at the marsh there's different colors peeking out, it makes it fun to paint again and again.

Here's a shot of my new studio! I painted there today :) There's an amazing breeze that comes through that window, so I'll never get lightheaded from paint fumes again. It's the best room I could ever ask for :)
