Not far from my Apartment is Ballona Creek that runs through Culver City. This was from my effort outside a few days ago. Painted these one right after the other.

These quick Plein sketches are for sale at Daily Paintworks these would make a great set.

Back lit 20" x 20", oil on canvas

My wife was kind enough to pose for this one. We have some frosted windows in our apartment and the light was wrapping around in such a delightful way  I increased the blue pushed the saturation, while keeping the shadows simple due the complexities that confused my senses. I have this for sale straight from my store at my website. Unframed at the moment but I will ship it for free.

I suppose I am on umbrella kick, that wasn't intentional, just sort of happened. You can get it here if

Calm waves 20" x 24" oil on canvas 

I have been going to the beach more often. I find the ocean such a magical thing to paint and observe. I hope to do many more painting of the sea in the coming years. This one is available here.

I haven't posted anything here for a while. Hope this makes up for it.
