Back to where it all started. Over Labor Day weekend we vacationed down in Pacific City, Oregon. The Oregon Coast is one of my favorite places to visit. It also happens to be where I did my first plein air painting on a similar trip three years ago.
I was in Phoenix, AZ over Memorial Day weekend and was able to do a few paintings. I really like painting palm trees.
I was fortunate to travel to Israel for a 10-day tour of the country. On the trip I did some skething and a few painting studies.
8/100. 6” x 6” gouache study of the old tool shed in our back yard. I used a limited palette of burnt sienna, titanium white, ultramarine blue, yellow ochre, and chromium oxide.
Back in Colorado.
9” x 12” painted in gouache on watercolor paper.
For Thanksgiving we were in my hometown of Grand Junction, Colorado. I got a few plein air painting in while there.
I had the pleasure of attending a plein air landscape painting workshop with Mike Hernandez this past weekend in Langley, Washington on beautiful Whidbey Island. I learned so much, my head is still spinning.
I love the Oregon Coast. I painted this on our recent trip to Pacific City. 8” x 10” on watercolor paper.
We had the pleasure of taking an Alaska cruise earlier this month. Gouache 8” x 10” on watercolor paper.
7” x 10” painted in gouache. I did an initial comp in Procreate on the iPad.
My first painting using gouache. So far so good. Happy Valentine’s Day!
