Tule Fog

It feels so good to be back painting again! This one is an homage to our local Valley fog. When present, it makes driving miserable but it's gorgeous at the same time.

Marsh, Winter

Up and running with my new computer. Still making adjustments and getting my feet wet--colors look different and everything seems HUGE. I have to say this Mac thing is pretty awesome. I did a series of three little landscapes on wood blocks this weekend. This one had an olive green underpainting which gave it a toned-down Old World palette feel. I like!

Finally, a painting to share!

Today was the first day of school. Nobody cried (including me!). To celebrate, I promised myself I'd finish the painting I started, oh, four weeks ago. It's an Alaskan landscape, but I think clouds and sky are universal themes. I'm so happy to be back at the easel.

Because so many people have inquired about purchasing a piece before it is listed in the shop, I've decided to have some of my paintings available for pre-purchase. It allows me to sell them at a discount directly to you. Once the paintings are dry and ready to ship, I will remove the button and put them in my etsy shop. Just a little sneak peak buying opportunity, so you can reserve a piece right away!

Tallest to Shortest

Another painting from photos taken at the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge. I loved how these trees seemed to be lining up for something.
