Distant Cloud

I have been painting still lifes on cigar boxes most of this year, thus the lapse in postings.

Here is one of the landscapes I have done on a box. It is 8" x 8" in oil. I glue canvas on the tops of the boxes and often work from my imagination. This is a view from the my studio at Arundell Circle.

Rocks

Here's an overcast rock painting...12x16 oil on canvas

Loft Clutter

I wanted to paint a corner of the room and make something from nothing.  12 x 12" oil

Chef Karen

My Booties

Here is quick sketch of my surfing booties left out to dry. 8 x 10" oil

Lismore With Spider

Another ala prima oil sketch on a new paper board that I won at the LA Plein Air event. 8 x 10" oil

Roses With Spider

This is a quick sketch I did to make sure I don't fall behind on my goal to paint a new subject everyday until the end of the year. 8 x 10" oil

Lemons With Spider

I suppose the  next three paintings don't really qualify as "en plein air" because the are done a few feet inside our loft. The lighting is a combination of artificial and available light. 8 x 10" oil

3/2 O'Neill

Our loft has a roll up garage door that doubles as a location to hang my wetsuit and dry small painting sketches. The top two glass panels are clear, the others are frosted. 12 x 12" Oil

Self Portrait

This is a sketch after going to the TRAC event. 12 x 12" oil

Popcorn Sketch

My attempt to make an ordinary subject look interesting. 8x10" oil

Tower Impression

 

This was a quick painting because a fog bank moved in while I was working. 12x12" oil

Vineyard Workers

This is another oil painting I have submitted to the Santa Paula Art Museum for the De Colores  exhibit. The show will honor the Campesinas. 12 x12"

Ten Hour Day

This is a painting I have worked on showing women farm workers "Campesinas". 20 x24" Oil

Neverland Swings

12 x 16" oil 

This painting is another angle on the swings at the fair. A carny told me it was once on the Neverland Ranch owned by Michael Jackson. I intend to paint a larger version of it in the near future.

Carnival Prizes

Here is a view of a stand where you threw a baseball to knock over bottles. I'm sure the advantage was in the  favor of the carnival. The favorite of this stand were the Minons.

12 x 16" oil

Fair Tower

Fair Tower 11 x 14" Oil on Canvas board.... This is the last painting I did at the fair and had developed a practice of catching the rides as they moved. The carnies would test the rides before the public arrived. The red shape towards the middle was activated.

Looking West

Oil 12 X 16"
