Highway 4

                                                                  8x10  oil

         Out in the country today. Bunch of red headed turkey vultures floating around. I went to this area because it has a cut in the landscape to show some nice cliffs.

Agave flowers

                                                                              8x10  oil

                                Saw this agave today and thought that i'd give it a shot.

Hello Higgins

                                                                           12x12  oil

                Thought that it would be good to paint Higgins.

Gladiolas

                                                                    

                                                                       12x24  oil

                           Saw these flowers and thought that i might be able to get a gestural painting out of them. 

               Very challenging to come close, but fun to move paint around. The red came through the flowers and into the cast shadows.  I'm thinking i might like to try to be more realistic but the flowers are wilting even though i've got them in water. Maybe i'll do just one blossom.

Sand Beach trail cliffs

                                                               8x10  oil

                       Little cliff around the corner from Sand Beach. Just down from the sea ducks.  That's Otter cliffs across the way.
