State Street Shopping - 6x6

I took the whole weekend off from painting since it was my husbands birthday.  The sun came out just in time for it, it was a wonderful weekend! And there was a much larger turnout for the reception at the Red Door on Saturday than I expected.  I sold a few pieces, hopefully a few more will sell before the show ends this month.

Somewhere San Diego II - Landscape Oil Painting - 6x6

I was trying to think of what to write about here, when Charlie (my giant orange cat) just bolted across the room, jumped as high as I've ever seen, headfirst right into the closet mirror... it seems he thinks he has a mirror friend... or enemy.

Purple Pear Love - Still life oil painting - 6x6

Pears are my favorite fruit, not just to paint, but to eat. A good pear is better than candy, maybe even better than cake. I'm waiting patiently for these two to ripen...

Carpinteria Cypress - Landscape Oil Painting - 5x5

Carpinteria has some pretty distinct trees and this is definitely one of them :) It's unique shape makes it really fun to draw....although it kind of reminds me of a bad hair day.

Palette Knife Paintings...I forgot it was fun.

It's probably been 6 years since I've done a palette knife painting, but yesterday I saw this painting and it inspired me to try it out again. I just loved how it was sort of representational but abstract at the same time. I loved the broad green color and how juicy the whole thing looked...I could just stare at it forever.

So in response I painted these two pieces, I like the first one a lot more than the second one. But I learned from the second, so it's still successful in my opinion. I have more of an idea of what I want my knife paintings to look like now, I will try again tomorrow.

Ok I'll Share - Avocado Still Life Oil Painting - 8x8

I was hoping that this weekend would be sunny and beautiful so I could get more shots of the town to paint. That was not the case, so I was stuck painting still lifes... ok I'm not really complaining... but I did want to hang out at the beach more :)
