California Poppy Light

I worked on the new ocean painting again today...It makes me want to go out to the coast for a sunset soon... I love working with the color of the light that happens just before the Sun goes down. Golden orange yellow...Like a California Poppy.

Tilted Angle of View

              I started a new painting yesterday while I was working at the ARThouse Gallery in Glen Ellen, California.  It is a larger version of a little 8" x 10" that I did a number of years ago of a very tilted angle of view looking down a grassy bluff above a rocky beach on our sonoma coast in the last golden orange light before sunset.
              No name for it yet...It is on a 22" x 28" stretched canvas, but not one that I built myself.
              The toning and underpainting that you see here was done in about 2 hours.
              Pigments used so far are: Titanium White, Permanent Rose, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Cadmium Yellow Medium, Sap Green, Alizerine Crimson and Ultramarine Blue.
              Mahalo for stopping in!

Nearing completion...

   In the final stages of completion, the oil painting that I'm calling "Martin's Vineyard" is starting to really come into focus. It will be a nice painting when it's done...And, that will be soon...'cause I'm stoked to do a new painting of the Ocean after this Vineyard / Landscape.
  Stay tuned for more...Don't go back!...I'll be right away!
        Mahalo for visiting my blog.
