November Storm

I painted this (once again on a dark ground for contrast) from a reference photo taken at my sister-in-law's wedding in 2007. The incoming storm created such beautiful lighting, making all the colorful leaves vibrate. It was amazing.

Plus, it's good luck to get married on a rainy day. I speak from experience!

Foothill Vines

We took a lovely trip to the coast this past weekend. I look forward to painting from some pictures we took of Ft. Bragg, Mendocino and other places along the way. Sometimes getting them off the camera card is the hardest part! Yesterday I closed my eyes and drew a picture from my stash at random to paint from. I'm crazy like that.

Vineyard Storm

I got a smidge burnt out on the laminate chips, so today I finished up a small canvas instead. I'm very happy with the way it turned out.
