Healdsburg Wine II

Healdsburg Wine II , 9x12
One of the paintings I've been wanting to get to, since our trip down the coast last oct. The late afternoon sun created nice contrast between the hills and the vineyards.

Painted Lady

Painted Lady, 10x8  The latest challenge from "Different Strokes From Different Folks". This one caught my eye right away, being from the Bay Area. I'm not as comfortable with the subject matter though, my lines are always crooked when I do buildings. ( But then again I think the "hand" quality shows through and I think crooked windows are kinda cool).

Mt. Tam

Mt. Tam, 8x10  Last October, we visited the Bay Area. This is one of my favorite scenes of home. Reminding me of all the times we used to see this from our own boat years ago.

Marsh Fields #2

Marsh Fields #2, 10x8This one I painted right after "Marsh Fields #1". I thought I would try a vertical and try different colors. I also wanted a bigger version. I really like these fall tones mixed with the water. They seem to just roll off the brush...

Marsh Fields, #1

Marsh Fields #1, 5x7  This is another one from a photo taken from the car. Only a very small cropped portion of the frame was used. Something just appealed to me here.

Rice Fields

Rice Fields, 9x12  This was painted from a photo taken while we were driving ( a common practice).So a lot was left to the imagination, as it was a very blury picture.
