Pink Barn on Adobe Road

acrylic on plywood, 12" x 36"

This is painted from one of my "drive-by shootings," from the car as I was driving by this pink barn on Adobe Road in Petaluma.  I did an iPad painting of it in a different format earlier, and left the brown railing out of this one, which I may add later. 

Holstein

acrylic on plywood, 16" x 20"

I thought I would pay homage to the cow, since the art studio in which this was painted is, in actuality, a calf barn.  More to come, I hope.

Italian Cypresses on a Summer Afternoon

Weimaraner

acrylic on hardboard panel, 12" x 12"

This was a quick sketch using a photo of a painting I found online of this dog.  I loved the perspective and, using the same limited palette I've been working with lately, bashed in the shapes over a dull orange ground, leaving bits of it poking through on the neck, mouth, and in the eyes.  I used a cool, pale blue wash for the background, which gave it a pink glow.  I quite like the effect.

Welsh Countryside

iPad painting, 10" x 14"

This is from a photo I took on my travels with Roy near Betws-y-Coed, Wales.

Kenyan Elephant with Baby

acrylic on wood panel, 24" x 18"

Still working with a limited palette (5 colors, plus white), I'm learning what freedom is when the choices are few.  I may tweak this one, but the exercise is essentially done.  I love elephants in their natural environment, at peace with the world.

Robert's Barn

iPad painting, 10" x 14"

An iPad sketch that I hope to later turn into an oil painting.  In this barn on the property where my art studio is, Robert creates lighting fixtures for restaurants and high-end residential interiors.  The property also has vineyards and will be offering wine-tasting/aperitif-tasting soon.

Roos' Bulbfields

acrylic on plywood panel, 36" x 36"

I have rented a light-filled art studio where I can finally start producing some larger works.  This was just for fun, an interpretation of a Roos Schuring painting to loosen me up for the bigger stuff, a Dutch tulip field.

The Big Tree

acrylic on canvas, 14" x 18"

I used one of my iPad paintings as reference for this landscape.  

High Wolds

This painting was inspired by the landscapes of David Hockney and his homeland, the Yorkshire countryside.
