Spring Weather

"Spring Weather", oil on panel, 8x10, $320 unframed.

I did this painting right after the painting I posted yesterday (link here) by crossing the road and setting up about 20 feet away from where I started. Setting them side by side is an interesting exercise in seeing how perspective can make a difference. Of course, if you come to the opening at the Riverfront Gallery this Saturday, you'll have an opportunity to see them side by side for yourself.

I know it's spring when the wild mustard starts turning fields and vineyards bright yellow.

Line of Eucalyptus

"Line of Eucalyptus" oil on canvas, 12x24" [$900+shipping]

I started this painting outside, and then ran out of time, so I finished it in the studio. It's from the same location as this little painting.

Pump House

"Pump House" oil on canvas panel, 11x14" [$425+shipping]

I did this painting last week, and only today realized I hadn't shared it on my blog. This little pump house was in the middle of a vineyard near Healdsburg, and it was the cast shadow of the eaves that initially caught my eye. This time of year the vineyards are just starting to leaf out, and the foliage is the most delicate green.
