Sometimes I like to think of my little 6x6 paintings as oil sketches, they let me test out a composition without a huge commitment. And if I do a little sketch that I think turned out well then I would be a little foolish to not make something more out of it right? I'm a little torn on the subject.
But here is a larger version of one of my smaller paintings from a few weeks ago. I'm trying to get...
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.
First Friday was last night, and it went better than I hoped! I had so much fun, and even sold three paintings. And Carpinteria is the cutest little town, I just love hanging out here. Thank you to Leigh Sparks for letting me join her in her shop :)
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.
