WATERSHED PATH

This was a sunny summer day at Shollenberger park in Petaluma. Learning to mass areas of color together, especially in the background.

FIGURE 47

One of the models we regularly work with at the weekly Berkeley figure group. Color and design were in the foreground of my thoughts when painting this. I was challenged by the flood of light on her, so it was difficult to see the form in its dimensions. We have a lot of conversation with the models, and I think her expression indicates that.

GREY DAY WATERSHED

I painted this on a very overcast June day overlooking the field of grasses at the watershed area in Petaluma. As I painted there I could see more and more color variations, maybe due to less light overall.

FIGURE 46

She had some attitude and was wearing a 'fascinator'. That's what the head adornment was called in the 1920's, and they seem to be back again.

HOUSE IN LIGHT

I've been painting, but have lapsed in my posts..
This is was done in Petaluma during my studies with Camille Prezwodek. This house was actually blue, but what I'm learning is to see and paint the color of light and the light key, not the actual local color (the color of the object). Its hard to learn, but well worth it.
