hiding amongst the coffee cups...

just waiting.

#23 Sally in the Barn

Simply...

Sally in the Barn.

Simple theme, simple shapes, simple brush strokes...

I really enjoyed this one.

#22 Little Scamp...

Though this is not Sally...

I do have a case of vintage trailer consciousness!

Meaning...

I have my eye open for vintage trailers

and can pick them out of a crowd without even trying!

This is a vintage Scamp Fiberglass trailer, 

parked right next to us while camping up in the Sequoias this last fall.

I was sitting out one morning, drinking delicious camp coffee 

and sketching this little cutie.

I wasn't feeling much like painting yesterday

( or rather coming up with a new trailer idea to paint )

and came across the sketch.

So I just started adding layers of oil over the sketch...

before you knew it I was having fun painting!

The first painting above is what I did yesterday morning...

by afternoon I decided to add in a few Sequoias.

This little trailer makes me happy...

it was a good painting day.

Enjoy

On Down the Road...

I think I like this better without Sally in it...

though trying to stick with the theme.

Here is day #20 painting #20...

only 10 left to go!

# 18...a little weird!

Just a little weird!

I wanted to try one of the burlap canvases I had on hand...

they looked way cool and I wanted to experiment.

This was more about the painting surface than the subject or style.

While I love thick juicy paint strokes...this wasn't that much fun.

Or maybe it was just the first time uncomfortableness...

I think I'll try these burlap canvases again...

just for the challenge of it.

#15...A Little Abstract.

I had fun with #15...

I love painting strong blocks of color,

with limited brushstrokes, one stroke per observation.

I enjoyed painting this little daily painting.
