I took this photo a few years ago on the way back from Yosemite. It's a place our family would go when I was a kid. It was a tiny Colombian restaurant in the foothills near Cathay's Valley and they had the most wonderful steaks. But the best part was watching them serve coffee to my parents - from about 4 feet above the table!! Never spilled a drop. Chibcha's, 6x6, oil on panel. This is from a photo I took last Spring when we were exploring some of the Delta towns. I think it's Isleton. I just loved this funky old building with the red-orange balcony and turquoise trim. Some buildings were falling down or propped up with 2 by 4s, but this one had a nice bright coat of paint on the front. "Isleton", 6 x 6, oil on panel OK so I missed a day - life happens! I tried to set my timer and do this one in an hour like I have tried with the rest, but nothing doing....took me about 2 1/2. Yay weekend! Lots of painting ahead. I have to give credit to Carol Marine for this setup. The oranges are positioned almost exactly like a demo she did for our workshop last month. She is truly a genius! Mine did not turn out nearly as good as hers did, however. :) "Egg and Oranges" 8 x 10, oil on panel OK so I am already behind in this challenge, offered by Leslie Saeta at http://lesliesaeta.blogspot.com/#, but here is my first painting of some of my favorite things - can you guess? I will be posting another by tonight to catch up. This one is called "Guilty Pleasure" 6 x 6, oil on gessoboard. |
