#1101 BrownPink Clouds

6"x6" | oil on archival panel

​I asked my Tuesday Class what they wanted to talk/learn/experiment with today - they said - CLOUDS!
The Gamblin Brown Pink color makes the nicest clouds! It is just neutral enough and colorful enough.
Clouds are just one of my favorite subjects!!! All my life I have loved clouds. This was my demo effort for the class today, (and they came up with some beautiful cloud/landscape paintings too!)
So... I asked my class what they wanted the focus to be next week and they said CLOUDS! So, anyone who wants to come to my class, for the rest of the Winter we may be working and studying clouds!

#1005 Jalapeño HOT!

6"x6" | oil on archival panel
Some habaneros in the mix too! This painting is from March this year, it got lost in the back room of an art gallery, so I'm giving it another chance in the Daily Paintworks Auction!

I like this one, it was part of my peppers series, and ironically, I just bought more peppers today because I wanted to start painting another series of peppers again!

#1085 Desert Tree

8"x8" | oil on archival panel

​Painted "en plein air" during the 2017 Plein Air Event at Maryhill Museum. It is a little larger than my usual daily paintings, 8"x8". I'm starting the bidding at $100 just like my little 6"x6" paintings.
This is the first time it has been displayed to the public. I didn't enter this painting into the Plein Air Event in August.
I'm not sure what kind of tree this is... maybe a Locust Tree, they are very common in the Oregon and Washington desert. They have an incredibly rough bark.

#1070 Plum Impression

6"x6" | oil on archival gessoboard

Here are some photos below of my process. It has been way too smoky from wildfires, where I live to be able to paint outside this September. The smoke is so thick it is actually harmful to breathe.
It's ok, because I'm bringing the outside in.

I sketched my composition on the board with a palette knife this time. 


My original inspiration, freshly clipped from the tree outside, and hung on the wall so I could get good shadows from the sun shining in the window on the right.
