plein air painting in the summer

been painting over the hill from the fog. Not much sun these days been doing a lot of driving to find the paintable sun..... here are a few recent painting.

I plan to have many more. as soon as they dry. I need to scan them but need them to be totally dry before I can do that. I teach a workshop in August and do the plein air paint out in Sonoma in September. I love painting outdoors.... more so when my wife joins me.

It was a perfect night and the sales were steady. Here are a few

plein air on loma alta

Sherrill Miller, Tom Wood and I painted on Loma alta just west of Fairfax a few weeks ago to make people aware of the threat to that area from the open space trail proposal.

Here are some photos of the proposed area and us on top of Marin.

The 680 trial is a bad idea.

plein air on the central coast

A few weeks ago we went to the Paso Robles art Festival. Fun to meet up with old friends and fellow painters from the San Luis Obispo Plein Air festival.
I will be doing the festival again this year. I am showing my works at the "Just Looking Gallery" in SLO on Higuera and I need to get to the central coast as often as I can.
I was able to do only one painting on the trip, but had a chance to drop off some new works at the gallery.

plein air on the move

Finally some decent painting weather. The fog is gone and the sun is out on the coast, time to get out and do some coastal paintings.

I have a painting demo to do in Sonoma next week and a painting workshop in August.

I do most of my outdoor work this time of year when the grasses are turning golden.

My next show is Marinscapes in Larkspur.

July 4th weekend.

Here are a few painting from the show and up the coast.
