I found this little 4x8 canvas in my stash of painting materials and decided it would be perfect for this colorful little scene.

Also my new business cards came in! I don't live in Denver anymore so my last ones were a little outdated. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. I also made magnets that I can include in packages I ship out. Yes, I was having fun...
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 :)
This painting doesn't really portray my usual color palette... the sky is much more pastel-ish than I would usually prefer. But that's how the sky felt that morning, so I guess I can't complain.
I love love LOVE painting in my new studio. It's so wonderful to have space again! I was drawn to paint this little scene because there were such interesting colors as the blue sky was finally breaking through that stubborn marine layer.
