Recent Paintings and Places

 

I’ve been working hard in the last month to practice, practice, practice!  These are new paintings created on location up and down the coast from Laguna Beach to Santa Barbara. Things I’m working on lately: accurate values, interesting compositions, honest color, and painting as communication (what do I want to convey?).

Painting Hume Lake

For years I’ve been hearing about the beauty of Hume Lake, a Christian Camp in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. We have many friends who visit every summer and I was commissioned to paint the view of the lake and the mountains earlier this year. Wewere finally able to drive up and explore Hume ourselves this week and I had a wonderful time painting the ever changing landscape.

Here are three of the five studies I completed in the three days we were there. I’ll be working on another Hume Lake commission in the coming weeks. What a privilege to capture the beauty of creation in a place steeped in meaning for so many.
