In other news, my SB News Press article is scheduled for this Sunday (6/26), check it out if you're in town :) 

Beach Houses, Sunset - 6x12

This turned out better than expected it to! I love when that happens.  

I'm a little frustrated at all this gloom we've been having.  I love to paint things either at dawn or at dusk...and it's cloudy at both those times! The sun comes out (a little) from 3:00-4:30... that doesn't really help me.  Maybe today will be better.

Sly's Sunset - 8x10

I was walking down Linden one evening and the sun was finally hitting this building just perfectly, it's such a fun yellow color, I've been waiting to paint it for a while.

The Lineup - 8x10

I painted this one just because it made me happy.  And I have to say, it looks way cuter in person.  I love avocado green and this turquoise-y blue together, I almost want to keep it but I don't know where I would hang it.

That Bluff Tree - 6x6

My interview for the SB News Press is today,  I think it might be a challenge since I'm not really great at explaining my art....which is why my posts are always so short, I don't think it needs much explanation! like today's painting, this is a tree, I liked it's shape so I painted it :)

Beach House Front - 6x6

Here's this beach house again, a different point of view this time.  This one's always fun to paint.

Lifeguard Tower - 6x6

Oh man has it been gloomy here lately! June is definitely living up to it's reputation.  Luckily I've hoarded lots of reference photos of sunnier times for weeks like this, I guess I'm like a squirrel, or an ant....anything as long as it keeps me from having to paint gray things.

Curvy Pepper - 6x6

This pepper had so many fun curves it was just asking me to paint it.  Sometimes making dinner turns into a much longer process...

Ventura Harbor - 6x6

Photos went great this morning, at least I feel like they did.  I hope my headshot isn't too dorky :)

Santa Barbara Harbor XXII - 6x6

Tomorrow will be a busy day...and today will be busy while I prepare for it.  The Santa Barbara News Press is doing a story on me (yay!), and they're sending out a photographer to get some pictures before the interview.  And by some, I mean a lot, they want to include photos of 24 of my paintings, this makes me nervous and excited.  I'll let you know how it goes.
