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.

CAC Portrait Paint-in

Last Sunday I attended the California Art Club SF chapter portrait paint-in hosted by Pam Powell. Here's my painting of the model with perhaps the most difficult eyes I have tried to paint. They were challenging to paint because her eyes were either looking around the room constantly or heavy eye lids ready to fall asleep.
