Painting at the Park – Summer

I had a nice time painting with this group at the park.  It was really hot, but the canopies helped a lot.  I enjoy how we can all paint the same thing and they all come out distinctly different.  There’s a lot of feeling in some pieces and others might have more technical mastery.  Anyway Read more about Painting at the Park – Summer[…]

Paint Night – Summer

  I painted with Liz and company and they were a very lovely group.  They had a ladies painting night while the children had a play date and entertained themselves.  We painted a sunset since summer is coming to an end or is it a sunrise?  It’s hard to tell since it’s a picture, but Read more about Paint Night – Summer[…]

Rose Painting

I just realized I haven’t been posting my own art much on these blogs so here’s one.  This is a good one to show my painting process.  Roses are very beautiful, but they are a lot harder to paint then one would think.  This was a good value study that I was able to do Read more about Rose Painting[…]

Bachelorette Paint Party

I started my adventure by traveling to this peculiar BnB in Lemon Grove to host a paint party for a bachelorette party.  I was able to meet some very nice ladies from Claremont (LA) and we painted some beautiful blue mountains while listening to some serene spacey music.  I thought they were a super fun Read more about Bachelorette Paint Party[…]

Paint Party Birthday

I was able to do a pleasant paint party for Sandra’s friends and family in Poway and they did amazing painting their sunflowers on these wooden surfaces.  The wooden surfaces were used in her wedding which added a nice sentimental touch to our artwork.

Drawing Student – Melissa

I travel to my student’s home in La Jolla to teach her how to draw.  I brought these shapes so she could practice to see light on different surfaces and to render them.  I also help her along by showing her many different techniques while using her charcoal tools and also correcting her when she Read more about Drawing Student – Melissa[…]

4th of July Electrical Boxes

For Fourth of July I wanted to pretty up some boxes as well as create something festive for the town.  I wanted to have the folks at the base feel like they’re part of the town.  It’s also been annoying me how ugly some of the power boxes are on this part of town when I Read more about 4th of July Electrical Boxes[…]
