Bye July

spent the last weekend in July in Carmel as part of a workshop with Marc Dalessio - an artist I have long admired and who doesn't do many workshops on the west coast. He is a real master and brought his way of looking at things and building a painting. Always something new to learn. A new palette of color, learning to mix more color with those basics, looking at composition and design of the picture, and how values work against each other - these were just a few things to consider.
we were working in a new preserve area, Palo Corona Ranch, right near the coast, so fog was an issue the first day. we got lucky with sun coming out early the next 2 days.
these are what they are, as done on site. I haven't gone in to fix anything yet.
