The Headlands



8" x 10"
The Headlands #26

I'm obsessed with painting now. It's just about all I want to do.  So, today I took off and went to the Marin Headlands because the weather is outrageously hot and beautiful.  I wanted to focus on light & shadow, and staying loose.  I did the whole painting with a #8 & #6 brush and made myself stop when I realized I was reaching for a smaller brush.  I love the old Cypress tress because they are so dark.  Tim always begins his paintings by painting the darkest dark - which in this case, is part of the  Cypress trees.  I did a second painting, but I think I need to take a sander to it or maybe work on it again tomorrow.
