There's a lot to paint around Lake Hodges and I love painting eucalyptus trees especially. I did this one mid-afternoon, so the shadows and lighting weren't as great as they could be- but I hope I captured what I could of the tree's character.

I had a two-day workshop this past weekend with Ray Roberts. We painted at Torrey Pines and La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club (near La Jolla Shores). These were two fantastic locations and I learned a lot from the workshop. They both presented some challenges- TP is all about eliminating the excess and La Jolla's foggy morning gave us a chance to work on a quick value study as the fog burned off.

Alley Off Ray

I painted this based on a study I did on location several weeks back.

Show Opens at Adams Avenue Grill

This is a very exciting day.

Today we set up for our 7 week run at the Adams Avenue Grill in North Park, San Diego. Christina and I spent a very hot morning hanging about 40 pieces. I've included a few pics of the result.
