Love Hay Bales

Love Hay Bales

8 x 10 Small study with my Friday painting group. The actual photo had so many bales I thought it might be confusing. I moved the barn off center as it was in the photograph. We were studying composition, which can make or break a painting.

This is an older painting, but loved learning to paint old wood.  It is interesting to look back at your work several years later and see where you grew and changed your style.  I think when we stop learning and growing, we start dying.

Living the Good Life in Kingston

Living the Good Life in Kingston

Walking into Kingston today with best friends from San Diego we passed the trailer that inspired this painting. The photo was taken at 11 PM in December. I was mazed how many people were out and about at that time of night in Kingston in December.

My friend mentioned that she had never visited Seattle when it did not rain. It was warm and sunny until about 30 minutes later, when after a Latte we started our walk home, where we witnessed lightning, heard thunder and were drenched on the way home.

Be careful what you say in Washington….

Wish I could say I sat there and painted this, but someone in my painting group shared the photo and I thought it was lovely. Four of us painted the scene, each with a different result. It is 14 x 16 and available today for $450
