2010 – Late Summer Zin – starting in on grapes

2010 – BJ – the eyebrows aren’t quite right…

Something happens when I look at the painting I’m working on through the review of the digital photo. It gets distilled somehow. And what’s not right jumps RIGHT out. Had to soften the dark above his eyes.

2010 – BJ – working on the water – detail

2010 – BJ underway

In May 2010 my leadership group had a reunion in Minnesota. I spent some time working on the painting of BJ on the screen porch of the B&B where we stayed. The water was challenging – all those distinct shapes and colors and detail, it was hard not to have it be to littoral.

2010 – Macarons – finished

On the easel at Light Rain – ready for capture.

2010 – Macarons in progress

Macarons – I painted this one systematically, the small amount of background, then the plate, then the tan colored cookies. After this I painted the chocolate ones, then the colors, ending with the pink – of course!

2010 – Lily Reflections

On the painting table in my studio. Finished.

2010 – Lunch at La Valencia

Painted on another trip to Kauai – staying at Tommy and Steff’s. This was the third time drawing and the second time painting – the art for the La Jolla Festival of the Arts poster in 2010. Finally done!
