10.18 Last Day in NYC

I spent a few days in New York looking at loads of fantastic art, a little bit of shopping and lots of people watching. I love that city! This is outside of Central Park looking down 5th Avenue.

9.19 Finger Painting

The trees are all thumbprints. No real reason... I just didn't like it so I figured it couldn't get worse.

Spent a gorgeous weekend above Santa Barbara at El Capitan State Beach. I did some sketches this morning and took the long way home through Ojai. Just in time to hit major traffic coming home. Still it was worth it...

Pulled over to the side of the road near Ojai.

8.29 Bishop

This is the oil I did this weekend up in Bishop. Gorgeous day but I've got a wicked farmers tan from this one...

8.27 Along the 395

Hung out in Bishop this morning. We drove up to find Jack's hammock right where he had left it at the campsite. Pretty cool that someone camped there this weekend and actually left it. We drove around & found some amazing paint spots above Bishop. I did an 8 X 10 oil and then we left for home. Everytime I drive the 395, I always wonder where those little side roads go. This time I took my time coming home and explored a few:

Big Pine

Off the 395. Near a resevoir.

Oh and this is a landmark one because it is the last painting on the last page of my sketchbook!! Time to crack open a new one!

8.26 Mammoth

I went up to Bishop this weekend to crash my brother's fishing trip. I drove up after work and found him in a hotel ( he had a bit of a tent malfunction which didn't go well with high winds). He's one of the last people in the greater LA area without a cell phone. I just happened to call my mom on the way up, just to say hi...otherwise I would have been wandering the Bishop campsites looking for a red truck.

We decided to get up at 4:15am the next morning so we would have plenty of time to eat breakfast and drive up to Mammoth because we wanted to be at Devil's Post Pile by 6. Amazing. We were ready to go and out the door by 4:30. We hiked, Jack fished and I painted. Later we drove up to June Lakes. I did a really crappy color sketch there (won't torture you with that one...), and then some pencil sketches.
