I've painted these trees by our house before, but never at this time of day. I love their shape and the colors in the background. I really like how there was still a hint of blue in the sky, while the rest of the sunset was so orange and bright.
I had a fantastic day at the craft fair here in Carpinteria yesterday :) I kind of wish I could have hired someone to sit at my table for me, I just always feel a little awkward selling my paintings....maybe because it's something so personal (at least to me). Or because I don't want people to feel like they have to say something nice just because I'm sitting there. But all in all a great day :)
Sometimes I like to play with paint...this is one of those times. I wanted to see what would happen if I painted this landscape as flat as possible. I really loved how the flat color turned out in the umbrella of this piece, so I decided to paint this little scene keeping the umbrella in mind.
