A Raft of Otters (#2) under painting: raw umber, burnt umber, and turpentine are used to tint the canvas and develop form.
The title of the second painting in progress is Oak Tree, Bixby Ranch, Big Sur 50”x60”. The photograph was taken during late spring when the tall grass is turning from green to brown.
From a surfer's point of view riding an eight foot hollow wave inspired me to paint Sunset Session, Silver Strand Beach, 50”x60”. With the surface of the water sparkling with yellow, orange, and red sunlight.
