July whatever

Hard to track the days and months - everything has taken on a new rhythm. The only real day I know is Monday because that is our plein-air painting day.
The rest can be called whatever.

Here's the last month or so group of paintings:

lake los carneros mountain view, oil on panel, 6"x12"

This was a day we got 'fogged out' at Devereux and decided to come a bit more inland.

devereux slough, oil on panel, 9"x12"

...then a beautiful day slipped in and we went back.

Santa Ynez River, pink cliffs,  oil on panel, 8"x10"

after a week of local fog, we headed up to the River for some sunshine and water.

so lovely to stand by the water and paint - listening to the local bullfrog, quail, hawks, etc.

open space, devereux, oil on panel, 6"x12"

hiked out to the other side of the lagoon for a different view

roses, oil on panel, 6"x8"

took a day to paint in a friends back yard, catching the late light

Old Barn and stables, oil on panel, 12"x16"

this was a study done on site and then developed as a larger painting in the studio. I liked the shadow side of the barn in contrast to the bright green sunlit grass.
