Another painting of the bluffs today. I decided that mountains aren't really my favorite thing to paint....but I love trees and and this scene has a big one :)
I was working on another commission today, these lemons really brightened up my mood, it's so dreary outside!
Oil on deep stretched canvas, 6x6 inches
SOLD
I ordered an easel a few weeks ago and when it arrived I was hesitant to assemble it. Luckily I live with an engineer, who offered to do it for me. During the process this is what I heard from the other room:
I was a little nervous to paint the bluffs. I feel like it's a hot topic around here, and I didn't want my first attempt to be horrible :) But I really like this one. I love when a painting turns out well and was fun to paint. I love how the fields around this area are an orangish color, it makes a nice contrast with the ocean and the blue sky.
I'm switching it up a little this monday morning, sometimes I forget that it's fun to paint night scenes. I really like how this one turned out, I wish I could have captured the actual colors used in the dark areas in this painting. I didn't use any black paint, so there's more interest in these areas than what the camera is showing :)
I finished this commission yesterday. I'm always nervous about commissions, but I really like how this one turned out, hopefully the buyer will too.
My husband and I are taking a fourth of July trip soon, which means I have to really get painting if I want to participate in the upcoming SCAPE show. I was counting on showing the few paintings I had from the last show, but they sold yesterday!...
