4Wheeling

6x8" oil on masonite panel
I know painting little kids at the beach is a cliche BUT this is my life, its what I did and my kids and friends kids do now. Now that the end of summer is near I feel like painting these beach scenes, kinda like a tourist taking home shells or sand to try and capture a bit of the magic of a summer at the beach. My oldest son is 13 and well, his beach enthusiasm has changed a bit but when he was little, this was him, running back and forth with a truck.

Yes, those are drops of water on the image. My studio is out from the house. Our weather man did not predict rain. On an ill timed trip to the house to fetch the camera I used the new painting as a bumbershoot. Sorry but I'm not about to run through it again to try for a dry one.

For some reason this group of leisure diners reminded me of Weight Watchers. Since I've never been to Weight Watchers it really didn't make sense.
There are some of those long horned, long haired red cows down the street. I keep thinking they should join the fun.

A Bunch of Friends

6x6" oil on masonite panel
One of the best things about painting is how it can be like meditating...at least for me, but I suspect it is like that for other artists as well. Your mind has a task to focus on. For this it was really trying hard NOT to zoom in and crop like I usually do. It was hard! Also, I think about alot of other stuff when I paint. While working on this I was thinking about how I draw Black Eyed Susans ALL the time in my doodles and sketchbooks and have for years. They are like old friends, I know them so well. Then I was thinking about if all the Susan's out there in the world like these flowers or not? I'll have to ask the Susan I know. Lastly, I was thinking "Why didnt I crop and make a more interesting composition?!"
Coolest thing about daily painting is ...tomorrow! another day, another painting. Tomorrow I crop!

Lunch

6x6" oil on masonite panel


A cooked crab on a paper plate. How summery is that? Had some time alone today and did a couple little paintings outside on my deck. Everyone got home while I was working on this so I stopped here. I just love how summery this is.
Also today, Marissa, a very creative and BUSY artist over at Creative Thursday http://www.creativethursday.com/blog/ posted a picture I sent to her of one of her little panda prints I bought and put in my sons room. Check it out. I listen to her podcasts when I need a little dose of creative spark. thanks Marissa!

A Beach Life

6x6" oil on masonite panel
It was windy at the beach today but I brought my paint and was determined to get a painting done...inspite of the fact that I spilled a whole jar of medium in my backpack and only brought a paper palette, which is a really bad idea in the wind! I had 2 of my boys and 2 of their friends so while they were busy hunting for blue crabs (see below) I set up shop out of the wind near the parking lot and beach roses and this is what I came up with. I actually really like this. I'm going to try to photograph it again. It is very hard to capture some paintings correctly.

I've been out of the studio for a couple of days. We volunteered to transport our foundry equipment downtown Enumclaw and do live demonstrations during the annual Art Walk. It was a lot of work but a big success. The visitors to the walk were very surprised. Even though I'm exhausted I was determined to finish a painting today. The comfort of things familiar.

Beach Talk SOLD

6x6"oil on masonite panel sold
A plein air again at the beach. I was feeling a little under the weather today but it was so pretty this evening, I grabbed my paint and headed out. Really, I'm Supposed to be working on a commission but just cant seem to get going on it. (hate it when that happens). Also, I was just going to paint a landscape...the cloud, water, grass...but this couple walked by and I couldnt resist putting them in...seems I have a 'thing' for people.... I'm looking forward to the fall and really getting into painting again. It is difficult with all the boys home and hardly a routine But its all good, and I'm painting waaay more than ever.

I have developed this theory; all cows in a herd face the same direction at any given time. Sometimes to face the sun, but where we live you can't count on there being sun so I'm not sure what gives.
