This is the largest painting I've done in a long time. I was planning on taking several days to work on it, but I enjoyed it so much that I just kept painting into the night, and finished it in one day. I've never been so exhausted.
First Friday was last night, and it went pretty well :) I sold a couple of paintings, and got to hang out with fellow artist Kim Snyder , a local celebrity of sorts :) for good reason since her paintings are amazing!
I loved what a bright green color the water was underneath the wharf. And the bright white boats were charming.
Oil on Ampersand Gessobord, 6x6 inches
SOLD
I've been working on these little 5x5 paintings this week because I bought these great 5x5" frames last week. I thought they would be fun to bring to Carpinteria's first friday celebration tonight :)
I think this little still life turned out really cute, especially in the little frame I found for it. I bought a bunch of these frames to bring with me to first friday this week, it's going to be fun!
Red buildings are so much fun :) I found a ton of great stuff to paint on Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara, I'll have to go back soon. I actually included some people in this little scene...baby steps.
