Seattle Street Scene

A new street scene from an old image I had around as a photograph. It's 9x12 and I'm getting the looseness I want although the result is not where I want to be yet.

City Scenes

Did two small studies of Seattle streets as continuing to add thicker paint style to my repetoire. First 8x8 inches and is Eastlake Ave. facing west, with a peek of the Space Needle at the top left. Other is 6x6 inch 50th Street in the University district, facing east from 12th.

Two new landscape sketches

Working again on thicker paint so painted these two scenes on a canvas pad page. First is LA summer scene and second is the view north on Eastlake Ave. E. in Seattle, with my bus stop I used to wait at on the right.

Idaho Snow

A friend of mine has a home in Idaho snow country and took some pictures I've used as images to work from. Here are two 8x10 scenes to remind us it's still winter in most of the country.

Green Lake Sunset

This is an image I've had for a long time and finally reworked it, but in wax. Also cut it down from 16x20 to 12x20 by removing part of the top and bottom, to emphasize the sunset on the houses across the street from Green Lake. This was done with a hot stylus that is dipped into various colors of wax, then the technique becomes like drawing as you must put down a line quickly and then it dries on the surface in seconds.

EAFA Abstract Art Show

Had this painting, Red Infinity, 36x48, done on two stretched canvas panels, accepted for the East Side Fine Arts Association 2nd annual juried abstract art show. It will be hanging at the Seattle Design Center through February.

New landscapes

Had our annual snowstorm in Seattle so made me think of summer. Went to my image file and found a couple of photos to work from. First is a 6x8 scene from Charleston, SC tidelands. This was taken by my sister on a trip there. Second is Duck Island at Seattle's Green Lake, a favorite spot of mine, two blocks from my house. This one is 8x10.
