5" x 7" Oil on Canvas This painting almost painted itself. I had a fun time with the cloth. Notice that Blue & Green on the bottom right, it's from the painting falling into the paint tray.

8"x10" Oil on Canvas Board It has been a very busy two weeks. A couple of weeks ago I attended a Plein Air Workshop with Judy & Larry Pumfrey . What a great workshop, learned a lot, plus had a great time with friends old and new. Finished up teaching at the Beach Art Center, it was a good season, great students. Now it's time to get ready to go North. I will paint and post when I can. Hopefully when I get home, I will be able to paint at least 5 paintings a week. This is my goal for the next year. Kevin MacPhearson said you must paint miles of canvas. So let me see how many I can do by April 1st, 2008!
