SPRING VIEW OF MOUNT TAMALPAIS

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

Out painting on an overcast January day. Happy to be back at my easel after a long winter break. Pt. Molate is a new park in Richmond just off the bridge. There were lots of long vistas of the bay, old trees, the bridge, Marin views. I will likely be back there with my fellow outdoor painters as the lighter days return.                                                      Oil on 8" X 10" panel                  $425.
