I saw this trio of lifeguard towers on my jog yesterday morning. I got so excited because they were such bright colors, and the sun was shining on them in such a perfect way. I knew they would end up being today's painting :)
I want to do a giveaway soon (where I would giveaway one of my small 6x6 paintings). But I can't decide which would be a better choice, a landscape or a still life? Anyone have thoughts about which they would rather win?
So a landscape giveaway might look a little like this one:
And a still life giveaway would probably be of avocados (so fun to paint) and might look a little like this:
I had so much fun painting this one. I was at the market and saw these two little tomatoes and just had to buy them. I took a lot of reference photos so you'll probably see more of these in the future.
Oil on a 6x6 inch deep stretched canvas, sides painted.
The Santa Barbara Courthouse is one of my favorite subjects to paint. I love the color of the shadows on such a white building. I got up extra early this morning to paint, because the rest of my day with be spent in LA, watching the filming of the Glee finale! My best friend acquired free tickets, it's going to be awesome!
