New Work for upcoming show ! "Oops"

Studios On the Park will be hosting a new show Dec 1...called "Winter White"  This painting will be juried in ( maybe) for the show.  Notice the snowflake crystals.  Thats my addition to winter.

PORSCHE DIESEL

Several weeks ago,  Paso Robles celebrated its once a year "Pioneer Days Parade"  this tractor pulled the Studios On The Park float.  Its a 1958 collectors item, imported from Germany several years ago,,,who knew?  Never really thought about painting a tractor,,,but because its a Porsche,,I had to attempt it.

" Two Sunsets" 18x24 acrylic

This shell has been around a while....I have wanted to come up with a painting with the shell as the focal point,,,but did not want it to look like every other sea shell painting that we have all seen.   I guess if you study it long enough,,,something will come,,,and it did.   I will be painting a much larger canvas , similar idea soon.  

Long Horn & Magpie / background change

After finishing the Long Horn...and seeing it in different settings,  the background of solid gray,, just really bothered me.   The painting  needed a horizon line and color for the sky and foreground, now I'm happy with it.

Above the Tree Line

Working on a few more paintings for my solo show in Lake Tahoe in Aug.   This one is taken from the Desolation wilderness in the Sierra"s

Longhorn complete

Longhorn three days in

For the first time painting a longhorn,,it seems be going fairly fast...should be completed next week,,,,getting ready for the Festival of the Arts show in Paso Robles   May 28th

Long Horn & Magpie

Beginning of several longhorns I will be painting....this is a first, but should be fun.

Long Horns

I was invited to photograph a herd of longhorns for a upcoming painting.  What a day on the most beautiful ranch overlooking Morro Bay.   Very nice folks that own the three hundred acres of pure wonderment this time of year.   Starting the painting today and will post the first pass soon.

Coastal Poppies / acrylic 30 x 47

Completed one of the larger canvases I have worked on.   This  and others in the pipe line will be included in a show in Lake Tahoe in August.

Studios on the Park

Studios on the Park in Paso Robles, Calif is the jewel of the Central Coast.   Working studios of some twenty full time very quality artist.   I am painting there on thursday and most of the weekends.

River Rock & Red Poppies

This will be my most ambitious canvas to date....30 x 48.  Working larger format these days for the challenge and impact.   With a show coming up this summer in a new gallery in South Lake Tahoe,  this will be one of several new works in progress.

Complete....Sterling Tea Pot & Lemons

Now  that I have finished  several reflective still lives,,,must say, its very enjoyable.   Between that and my up close landscpes and painting long hours for a upcoming show...its all good,,,nothing I would rather be doing.

New Sterling and Lemons

Finally started the perfect center canvas for a triptych I have been working on for a while.  Sterling reflection is a new path for me.   This might be the last for a short period,,,ready to get back to my first love,,,water and rocks.  Sounds boring I know,,,but I works for me!

New Work for the new year 2011

Starting the new year off with a fast pace....with a few sales and upcoming show,  equals many hours in the studio.   Cant think of a better way to spend time...being creative and listing to great music.

  This new work " Falling Strawberry" will be featured in a themed show for the Studios on the Park in Paso Robles.
