I'm starting a brief new series, I felt a little bit stuck and a little frustrated (which always seems to happen after I complete a few paintings that I really like...). I find that mixing things up a little often helps. So I'm doing a series of small paintings based on other larger paintings by artists I admire. I'm trying to keep it loose, even a little abstract. So far I'm really enjoying this...
I found this interesting tree on the Carpinteria Bluffs one morning. This was also a strange angle to paint it from, but I really like how it turned out.
Busy busy day today, but it ends with homemade apple crisp :) yum!
