One of the best things about living in a little beach town is all the brightly colored houses around :) If I owned a house here I would have such a hard time deciding on what color it should be!

Field Work - Plein Air Oil Painting - 6x6
I'm getting a little more used to this whole plein air thing, there are parts of it that I love and parts that I could do without....like people warning me that I'll probably have ticks on me from standing in the grass. I'm thankful for the warning, but then my ankles itched for the rest of the painting because I was sure there were ticks on me! I couldn't find any.
I was happy with how this painting turned out, it wasn't super bright like yesterday's, but it also wasn't dull like I was afraid it would be.

Green Field - Plein Air Oil Painting - 6x9
I was SO happy to finally paint on a sunny day! I felt like my other plein air pieces looked a lot brighter and a lot more colorful (even for a cloudy day) when they were outside with me, and when I brought them inside they were so drab!
I was determined that this painting would not be drab! And the result was very bright! I was also experimenting with some new colors I ordered. I don't know how I ever painted without "purple lake" :)

Cloudy Day and Tree Abstraction - 6x6
Last week I went out on several short plein air outings. I hate painting on cloudy days but I went anyway....

I brought two panels with me, so I decided to have fun with the second one. There were trees to my left that had this amazing light that kept peeking through briefly while I was painting the first one. I knew I only had like a minute to try to capture the colors that were happening. Here's the result, which I actually really like, even more than the first painting that I spent much longer working on:

Hearst Castle Indoor Pool - 6x6
I think this will be the last in this series. This pool was ridiculous! The floor was covered with gold tiles! That would be one crazy swim.

Hearst Castle Theatre - 6x6
Definitely my favorite in the series so far. I started with a very dark colored painting surface for this one, it ended up making things a lot easier and a lot faster. I'm excited to keep experimenting...

Hearst Castle Interior - 6x6
I'm working on a series of these interior scenes. I've always been attracted to this type of subject, but I don't always have a chance to paint them. A trip to the castle was a perfect solution! I liked this scene because of the orange glow coming from the light in the room, and the cool blue light from outside being reflected on the furniture.
