plein air winter

love the winter light when you can get out between the storms and put up with the cold. Here are a few paintings I did when I got a break in the weather.

Love the winter light. I have been painting almost daily for the past few weeks. I have a show opening this weekend for three days at the Mill Valley Outdoor Art club at the corner of Throckmorton and Blithedale Ave. The Artist's reception is on Friday at 6, and I will be doing a demonstration on Saturday at 2. Last weekend I did a demo at the Bolinas Museum to compliment my exhibit on Plein Air Painting. I hoped I would get a feeble turnout so I could go home to watch the Super Bowl, but I ended up with about 25 people. Oh well, it was fun, here are a few of my recent plein air paintings.

Two new events this February, I have a show on Plein Air paintings of the west coast including demo paintings, and larger paintings done from plein air paintings. I also have quotes and photos, it is a great little show, My second at the Bolinas Museum.

I also have a show titled.."Masters of Marin" along with 5 other artist to exhibit for three days at the Mill Valley Art Club, Opening night is February 11. I also have a painting in the Thomas Reynolds gallery in San Francisco for the California Art Club annual show.

plein air in the winter

Winter painting is some of the best, the light is strong and more constant. The only problem is the elements, the rain can make some

nice reflections if you can keep the water off your easel.

I do a lot of studio paintings this time of year because of the limited amount of daily sunlight. I tend to go through my field studies in Plein Air and try to produce larger works. I am including some samples here that will be part of my show at the Bolinas Museum in February.

plein air for the holidays

The Art market is slow this time of year, when the shows end and the galleries start to get ready for the holidays. I tend to sell a few before Christmas and then a few at the beginning of the year.

Here are a few paintings I am putting in the Bolinas Musium Mini show for Christmas.

leaving tomorrow for San Luis Obisp Plein Air Festival.

will be painting with a lot of old friends on the Central Coast. I will be

staying with my good friend Ken Christenson in Los Osos. I hope to post my paintings from that as soon as I get home.

here are some more recent paintings.
