I don't know whose idea it was to paint these condos by the beach this weird peach color, I feel like the whole painting has a 1980's feel because of it. But I kind of like it :)
This is another version of a painting I did a few weeks ago. But at sunset instead of early morning. I really liked the first one, but I think I like this one even more. I didn't know if I would be able to portray the time of day accurately, but I'm really happy with how it turned out.
A very happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there :)
A little still life for today. I was trying out a slightly different process while I painted this one. I usually lay down a sort of brownish ground and then pencil in my composition on top, well I ran out of lead in my pencil, and since we're still in temp housing there were no other pencils around. So this one was marked in with paint...that...
The same little scene I have painted before, but at sunset instead of dawn. It's interesting how different the colors became. This one is a lot warmer than the others.
I wanted to give up on this painting so many times. But I fought through it, and five hours later I had this.
And tomorrow I get to participate in my first "First Friday Artwalk", here in Carpinteria. I'm very excited, and hoping more of my paintings dry by then so I can show them!
