#841 Tranquil Morning on the Hood River

6"x6" | oil on archival panel

I am so happy to be doing my "daily paintings" again. It has been an incredibly busy summer so far. I was just talking with a painter friend, I love doing the little daily paintings, they are sometimes sketches, detailed paintings, explorations, exercises, whims... just what ever I feel like painting at that time. This painting is from a demo for the Tuesday Class that I have in Hood River.

I have gotten a new camera, a Nikon D5500, hopefully the color quality for the photos of my paintings will be even better than before. I'm still trying to figure out the new camera, for photographing artwork.

I have started numbering the paintings, because I am getting excited about getting to #1000! It motivates me to paint more and get there faster!

#840 Crater Rock on Mt Hood

6"x6" | oil on archival 1/2" deep panel ready for hanging

I'm working on a large version of this painting, Pulpit Rock on Mt Hood. This is a small oil sketch of the larger painting. Same color families, and shadow patterns as the large version. Sometimes it is helpful to work out colors and values in the smaller versions, then go back to the larger version and see how they relate to each other.

#838 Cloud Gradations

I painted this from a photo I took 2 days ago. The clouds were so bright and the sky was bright blue. I was trying to get the most perspective I could.
