View from the Backdoor


View from the Backdoor, oil 6x6. I thinks this is one of the photos I got from my friend Mary looking out her back at the sky in Bend Org. Not sure.. I need to check, I am getting a bit overwhemed and I am not even half way through the 50 paintings. Oh my.

Coast Hwy Farm


Coast Hwy Farm, oil 6x6. When driving hwy 1 south towards Santa Cruz from Davenport there is a view of some sort of farm, which seems to be just shapes ..very cool, and where I can see the ocean and far across I can see Montery coast line. What a view. I have tried to do this in a few brush strokes very loose. I like this one.

Sundown Seascape


Sundown Seascape, oil 6x6. This is from an edited photo, which I tried to keep loose. Up close it is loose at a distance it is tight......Can you see things in the clouds...I can

The Crack in the Mountain


The Crack in the Mountain, oil 6x6. This is a landscape I see a lot when driving on hwy 1 or hwy 101, the cracks in the mountain. Not sure what's going on, what's there, but I see this shape. I have painted theme a lot, I like the abstraction of it.

Alone


Alone, oil 6x6. I am not too sure about this one, this is from a photo I edited and this one might be edited out. I plan on doing more then the 50 paintings and then editing and editing ......

The Mountain in the Sky

The Mountain in the Sky, oil 6x6. This is from a photo, once again simplified a sketch done, trying to just get down paint stokes and shapes.

Forest in the Fog

Forest in the Fog, oil 6x6. This is from a photo I had, which I edited and did a sketch of. Fog is hard and not always reads right. I painted a bigger painting first, which read really well worked great. I then did this smaller one, which doesn't read as well, but is still a fun little painting.
