Saint Vincent's, San Rafael

My last painting of January at Saint Vincent's Church in San Rafael. I meet up with some pals and other North Bay Plein Air Painters, it was a good turn out with about eleven artist. The day started out very gray and heavy fog, as you can see the sun came out and I ended up with a very different painting than when I started.

1st Plein Air, 2010

Thursday I was my first plein Air painting of 2010. With all the rain predicted for the next week I decided to seize the moment and get out to the coast. This is painted just off the El Camino Del Mar trail overlook.

Year of the Tiger

2010 is year of the Tiger on the lunar calendar. My son is 3 and he welcomes in the new year with a very loud tiger roar.
