small gouaches

Finished these just before the pandemic - adding to my ongoing series on small shacks and outbuildings. My use of gouache is much more controlled and I learned from the the 'flower challenge' to loosen up. Next paintings in this series may have a different look.

Tin shed, Santa Paula. Gouache on WC board, 5"x4"

Maybe an old electrical shed. This was done from an oil study done on site.

Farm building, Spreckels. Gouache on WC board, 5"x4"

This was a small roadside stand we drive by on our way to Carmel

Shed in Los Alamos, gouache on WC board 5"x4"

Don't know what the function of this little building is - it's almost like a bus-stop.
