Moving right along.....before I get into my limited landscape paintings I wanted to post this mural that used to be in a store in Friday Harbor, WA.....it was my first truly big piece....challenging and fun to do.  Unfortunately the store has been closed, or sold....I'm not sure which, but I doubt the mural is there anymore....maybe I will make it up into a painting on canvas one day.....

Okay....so that brings me to the landscapes....this one I did after taking Tim Horn's class Painting from Photographs in the Plein Air Style.......I don't think I quite succeeded but it is part of the learning curve.

Bon Tempe Afternoon

Oil on Canvas

This  piece was done at a workshop with Tim in Petaluma last year on a huge ranch that Tim has painted many times so successfully.  It was very windy the entire weekend...but still we all had fun and learned a lot.
