Plein Air - Mount Tamalpais, Walker Road
12" x 9"
I had some left over prussian blue on my palette from working on another painting. Unfortunately, I couldn't help but use it a bit too much, for I think it made the value of the houses in the background too dark.

This was possibly the coldest I've ever been while making a painting. The wind was ridiculous, but it's to be expected when you are on the top of a mountain.
Still Life made using "form modeling" method
For this still life, I wanted to try out a method of painting I found out from the website of an artist named Douglas Flynt.
In this method, one makes a drawing on paper of the still life, transfers the drawing to the canvas, and then paints in the objects piece by piece. While I think the method worked, I don't know if I will use it again. For me, it makes the process of painting more mechanical, and not as fun. But on the other hand, it pushed me to get the most detail in a painting I think I have ever attempted.

This greyscale study is done as part of the method to keep in mind the larger value changes to help you along as you paint the forms.

Plein Air - ILM, Dillon Beach, Sebastopol
10" x 8"
I wasn't too excited about painting this location, and was pretty unhappy with the way it was going while painting. As a whole painting it's not successful, but I'm happy with some of the color combinations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following 3 paintings were done all in the same day at Dillon Beach:
10" x 8" - SOLD
10" x 8" - SOLD
10" x 8" - SOLD

12" x 16"
This was done at the location of the special effects company Industrial Light and Magic in San Francisco. The whole area was pretty amazing.
