May 31, 2011 • California • california beach town • carpinteria painting • the spot

I'm trying very hard to get ready for all the upcoming shows this summer, check out my events page for more information on them. I really enjoyed painting this new take on The Spot, it felt so dramatic, I love the contrasts that happen during sunset.

Linden Sunset - 6x6 - & Show Results

May 30, 2011 • art along the creek • art show • carpinteria linden avenue • santa barbara artist • santa barbara oil painting

I found out yesterday that I won first place in the "Urban/Architectural Landscape" category in the Art Along the Creek show (yay for blue ribbons!). And second place in the "Figure/Portrait" category... that one really made me laugh, you all know I hardly ever paint people! And certainly not well enough to win an award :)

Cliff Commission - 5x5

May 29, 2011

A little commission I did of my favorite beach spot...at least my favorite to paint. This will probably be the last commission I can accept for a while, I will be so busy preparing for upcoming shows!

Also if you're in town this weekend stop by the SCAPE Art Along the Creek Show, especially if you're already at the mission checking out the chalk paintings! It's a pretty big show...
