ELLIS REEDS

This is a place where we often paint during Camille's Monday class. I asked myself to choose something specific in the vast field to focus myself on. I was thinking about the design of the wetlands meeting the land, and creating the sense of space with color. This was done with a palette knife.

WASHINGTON STREET BRIDGE

View of a bridge over the Petaluma River into the dowtown area. This was a study of the color and atmosphere on a sunny morning when there was still a lot of moisture in the air.

GIRL WITH A PARASOL

I was interested in getting the sense of bright  illumination and the carefree attitude of the model. I had fun with all of the stripes- great costume.

SHERATON MARINA

I painted this from the dock in back of the Petaluma Sheraton. I was trying to simplify the scene and just try to get the sense of atmosphere and space.
