Color Play

This little 8x6 was painted from another photograph of our drive to San Jose.  It was late in the day and very gray so I decided to push the color around on iphoto.  I liked the yellow sky and left the photo enhanced to work out the painting.  Certainly changed my feeling about the day and I love the fun color.

SUNDAY DRIVE

6X9, oil, $90.00

Couple of weeks ago my hubby and I went out to take photos in O'Neil Park for a potencial series of studies for a larger painting.  The road in was just beautiful and lined with old oak trees.  I was shooting with a slow shutter speed trying to catch the light.  They all were pretty blurry, but showed the light,  which was all that I wanted.  Who needs detail...ha.

"LOCAL COLOR"

8X6 oil on canvas panel, $85.00 + $10.00 S/H

This a local trail around our neck of the woods.  Getting out for a walk has been a wonderful destresser and a great way to see the local color in our area.  New blooms of wild grasses pop up and paint the landscape.

Out on Loma Road 8x6 oil

This road was right around the corner from the Blue Iguana Hotel. Great place to stay. Ojai is a very pleasant place with lovely country charm and open spaces.

I like roads and trying to create distance and depth is a challenge.
