Carmel Mission in Winter

So here I am painting the mission again. It is a really hard building to paint probably because it is entirely hand made. We are so used to buildings with everything at perfect right angles and so on that we tend to have trouble with this kind of architecture.

And not only that, I left out the bird sitting on the side of the dome!

Around The Bend

Hmm...Is that the title of a painting or a comment on the painter?

Bridge Over the Seine

It has been cold, windy and raining like anything so that all my paintings have rain spots on them. Finally, I decided to paint en plein photo...in other words, in the comfort of my garage! Voila! Sun, puffy clouds, Paris...ahhh

Pounding Surf

Whoa! Some title! I have been practicing painting rocks so you will be seeing some of those for the next few days (providing the rain holds off for a minute!)
