More plein air

Plein Air in the Headlands

Process

This is a painting from memory of the fog coming in just below the top of Mt. Tam last week. It looked like someone had pulled a large curtain around it. Very strange.

A start

The beginning of a watercolor from an old family photo.

New Painting

Started a new painting, my first with oils in 12 years. It will be hard to want to paint with acrylics again. The landscape is the oyster farm and estuary at Point Reyes, and this will be the first in a series. It's on the small side (for me) at 45"x64". The top image is five sessions of painting. The bottom image is four.

Open Studios!

Mission Open Studios is coming up next weekend. Stop by and see some of my new paintings as well as some good work by my studio mates. Several other studios are also participating. Check the Mission Open Studios website for more information.

Paintings

Progress on paintings. The landscapes are Mt. Tam and Drakes Beach at Point Reyes. Both are from memory, and both are acrylic on panel.

More Mt. Tam

Can't stay away from the rocks on Mt. Tam.

Birds!

An ibis (I think) and a flamingo from the zoo.
