ELLIS PARK GREY DAY

This was mostly done with a palette knife on an overcast morning. The sun was beginning to break, and so it had to be a quick study.

SOUTHERN OREGON COAST

This was the view from the balcony of Best Western.
At sunset's last light there was such a riot of blue shadows and hot orange-pink highlights. I would have liked another go at this one.

FIGURE 49

This is a model I have drawn and painted from life many times. I think this captured her distinctive personality better than most of my previous  paintings of her.

YACHATS COAST

This was painted along the shore at the Central Oregon coast this summer. It was very overcast and began to drizzle. I guess that kept me from overworking things!

FIGURE 48
 
I've been working with a palette knife more and you can get a lot more paint and color on the canvas, but its hard to control. So, I was fooling with both the knife and the brush here. I like the color and pattern in this one.

PETALUMA RIVER

This was an overcast summer morning looking down over the in-coming currents. It slowly went from mostly muddy to a shallow flow of water. I was looking at aerial perspective and the effects of more or less color saturation and color temperature changes with distance.
