Plein Air Limited Palette - 5x7

This is something I wanted to experiment with, I felt like I was bringing SO many different tubes of paint when I went out to paint.  So in this one I brought only the very basics (I even gave up my favorite green!) Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Yellow Pale, Ultramarine Blue, and Titanium White.

Ocean Storm - Original Oil Painting - 18x14

I love the colors in this piece.  I like doing these stormy/cloudy paintings sometimes, I feel like I can be a little more free and abstract them.

Field Somehow Flowing - Plein Air Palette Knife Painting - 6x6

I wanted to try a plein air palette knife painting.  I think this was a good first go, but I'll have to give it another try sometime.

Sunset at the Bluffs - Carpinteria Plein Air Painting - 5x7

You know what moves faster than me? The sun. Sunset scenes seem much harder than those at sunrise because not only does the light change, it disappears completely!

La Arcada II - Santa Barbara Oil Painting - 6x6

I decided to take another shot at this charming courtyard in Santa Barbara.  I experimented with one of my very dark panels again, it switches up my way of thinking about the painting, so I think it's helpful.

Sunset Clouds - 6x6

The flu has seriously kicked my butt for the last few days, I can't remember the last time I felt this sick.  The tylenol kicked in so I crawled up to my studio to make this quick post....will definitely not be painting today, but here's one I did last week:
