Oh, My Darling Clementine

6" x 6"
Clementines #59

Well, it seems that painting all those rocks certainly improved my still life - I like how this little painting turned out.  I did these clementines today and worked on a few paintings from last week. I felt much looser with my brushwork and the shading came easier than before.  Also, I painted on a 6"x6" which is new to me, and I liked it. I think I'll prime a stack and start incorporating this size into the rotation.

I had my monthly critique yesterday and it was great to get feedback from the work I did last week in Big Sur.  However, it was even better to see what Tim has been up to since our last meeting.

The Airstream painting

I love this painting.  We found this Airstream last month when we were up in Napa and Tim took tons of photos - he has an entire Airstream photograph catalogue.  We were so psyched to see the red tire, and the green hose it was too good to be true - look what he did with it.  Go to his website and check out his Airstream paintings, you won't even believe how great they are.
