Finished Painting of Tommy Thomsen

I finished the painting of my friend Tommy Thomsen yesterday. The photo isn't quite in focus, but you get the idea. This is an oil on canvas, 24" x 16".

Munoz Ranch Pine

I went out to the coast plein air painting with an old friend this morning. This is the result of that effort. About 3 hours of painting on location at the top of Munoz Ranch just north of the village of Jenner at the mouth of the Russian River.
The hilltop behind was the focus of this painting until the old pine caught my attention and then became more of the subject. It's very loose...I'm not sure it's a saleable painting, but I had fun doing it.

More on the Spring Vineyard

Made some definite progress on this small(13 3/4" x 26") oil on canvas painting of a late spring vineyard near Kenwood, California today.

Starting a Spring Vineyard ala prima

No toning or underpainting in this ala prima beginning of a spring vineyard in Kenwood, California. A lot of white gessoed canvas showing still, but it makes for brigher yellows and greens at the onset.
I like the mood I'm seeing in this painting already. Big contrast from front to back. It'll work good.

Just a Few

I was trying to put a group of paintings together to do a new show with so I had taken a lot of them outside and quite a group assembled in front of the studio so I decided to take some photos of the array. Then one of the display on the west wall of the studio.

Just to add a little interest to this bittyblog.

Evolution of a painting.

The painting of Tommy Thomsen that I began a few weeks ago has gotten a tad bit more attention lately and is evolving toward it's completion at a steady rate. There are still some areas that need refinement, but I believe it will all work together well when it's done.

The Golden Eagle

I'm adding a Golden Eagle to an old landscape painting that I did in 1998. It isn't quite finished, but there's not much left to do. The masonite support measures 36" x 60".
