Today's painting with the EBLandscape Monday group. I am painting a series of Mount Tam views. The Marin mountain is visible from so many Bay Area locations that it makes a fun series. This view was from high up in the hills of Kensington in the beautiful Blake Gardens. I looked at some early California landscape paintings at the Oakland Museum yesterday and was thinking about more expressive brush work and shapes.

PRIDE OF MADEIRA
These lovely Madeira bushes bloom every spring along the Bay Trail and I finally went out and painted one. I thought it was a native, but it is not. It's from the island of Madeira off the coast of Portugal.

PAINTING AT POINT MOLATE

SANTA CLARA & OAK
This was painted during the Alameda Plein Air Paint Out last July/August. It was a very sunny morning and I backed up to the wall by Long's drug store across the street where I could paint in the shade for a few hours. I had seen this vintage sign for the old Towata flower shop with the mirrored wall behind it and thought it would be fun to paint an iconic Alameda image. The old red Chevy truck pulled up just as I began the painting. It made such a great color contrast and fit with the vintage look. I had to paint the truck immediately, as I had no idea how long it would be parked there, and sure enough.. it pulled away just as I finished getting it down.

KELLY'S METROPOLITAN
I had seen this adorable vintage auto on a 'scouting' trip before last years Alameda paint out. Somehow I couldn't find it again then. However, this year's quick draw event included the area where this little turquoise car lives and I was very happy to have the chance to paint it and the side street. Quick draw events give you only a few hours to complete a painting, and its hit or miss when you are pushing to finish so fast.
