Clementine's Commission - 6x12

Here's a commission I finished recently, I'm very happy with how it turned out!

Carpinteria Powerlines - 6x6

I'm taking a little break from my Europe series (before I start on the paintings of Italy!).  Here's one of an early morning in Carp, I loved the color of that blue house next to the red color of the powerlines.

Lucerne in Clouds - 5x7

It rained SO hard almost the entire time we were in Lucerne, except for the day we went up to Mt. Pilatus.  We had clear skies that day, which was wonderful because I really wanted to go on the alpine slide! But the rest of the time it poured.  We went out to dinner before the worst of it started (and forgot the umbrella) and had a pretty fun time running almost a mile back to our hotel in the downpour.  We stopped under one of the covered bridges for sanctuary, and that's where I got this shot. Miraculously my camera stayed dry even though the rest of me was soaked.

Moving Sale, Part 2!

Well we are officially moved in to our new place, and my new studio is pretty much functional now.  I'm digging the view from my new window, learning to look over the freeway and right to the ocean instead :)

While trying to arrange things in my new, slightly smaller, studio, I came across some paintings that should have made it into my moving sale.  So I'm having a Moving Sale Part 2! Please take a look :)

After! Yay! Ready to paint!

Gimmelwald - 8x16

I said I wouldn't paint Gimmelwald (it's too beautiful, I would only make things worse!). But this little section seemed a little less intimidating, so I gave it a go.

Murren - 5x7

We visited Murren one day while we were in Switzerland, a much larger town than Gimmelwald, but similar in it's charm.

We're moving!

Announcements are more fun when presented as haiku's, so here goes:

Time to clean things out! 

Can you help lighten my load? 

Too much art to move!

Boat in Lucerne - 6x6

Can you guess what got me really excited when we were walking around Lucerne one day? Yep, I found boats! In water that was such a different color than the Santa Barbara harbor.  Swiss boats yay!

The Chalet - 5x7

Really enjoying this different landscape.  These Swiss houses were much harder to paint than I anticipated.
