It's been a really long time since I've painted one of these architectural pieces. I love doing them, but they ARE more time consuming (and studio time always seems too limited these days!)

Beach Clouds, Carpinteria - 9x12

• 9x12 • beach • carpinteria • clouds • oil painting • storm

We've been having absolutely gorgeous clouds lately, I love it! 

My favorite part of this one is the light yellow/orange color shining through and against the clouds.

Arlington at Sunset - 12x12

• 12x12 • arlington theater painting • oil painting • santa barbara

I got all paint-angsty (that's totally a thing) last week, and so I painted this...as fast as I could (baby naps aren't too long).  I fully expected it to be a disaster, but I actually love it!

Clouds Over the Salt Marsh - 6x6

• carpinteria • daily painting • oil painting • salt marsh • sunrise

First painting since the birth...I'm depressingly rusty! But still probably not the worst painting that I've done, and it's good to get back to it, even for just a little bit.
