Beach Houses, Sunset - 6x12

beach houses carpinteria orange state beach sunset

This turned out better than expected it to! I love when that happens.  

I'm a little frustrated at all this gloom we've been having.  I love to paint things either at dawn or at dusk...and it's cloudy at both those times! The sun comes out (a little) from 3:00-4:30... that doesn't really help me.  Maybe today will be better.

The Lineup - 8x10

I painted this one just because it made me happy.  And I have to say, it looks way cuter in person.  I love avocado green and this turquoise-y blue together, I almost want to keep it but I don't know where I would hang it.

That Bluff Tree - 6x6

My interview for the SB News Press is today,  I think it might be a challenge since I'm not really great at explaining my art....which is why my posts are always so short, I don't think it needs much explanation! like today's painting, this is a tree, I liked it's shape so I painted it :)
