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.

5TH STREET IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT

Small study of houses on 5th Street in Petaluma. I have been struggling more with getting the effect of bright sunlight than with the overcast light effect. The light/dark contrast is much greater and color in brightly lit areas get more sun and sky coloration. I think this little painting got it.

Sea Ranch Morning II

The view of ranch houses overlooking the ocean in the morning light was lovely to paint.

SEA RANCH HOUSES IN THE MORNING

I shared a house with three other painters at Sea Ranch in September. I loved being so close to the ocean and the light there is so pastel and gentle. Reminds me of melons and mangoes. This was a view from the hill behind our place in the early morning.

GREY DAY WINDOW VIEW

I look at this house across the street from my kitchen window many times a day. I love studying the effects of weather on this familiar view. I plan to do more of these in different seasons and times of day, reminiscent of Monet's haystack series.

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.
