Weekly Painting #10 - Blue Bucket Ranunculus

By now, you all might have gathered that I love Thursdays, Ferry building Farmers market and Thomas Farms :). I stopped there last Thursday again. I have so many photos of different flower bunches every season in those blue buckets. I love looking at them. Here is a painting of blue bucket ranunculus.

I even picked up a small bunch for home. It is now sitting in my kitchen and taunting me to paint them.

Weekly Painting #7 - Ferry Plaza Farmers Market

Another painting for the weekend. It's raining like crazy here. I was getting spoiled with the warmer temps and it's back to rain now. Not complaining though. We need every inch we can get, to get out of this California drought. I was taking a quick walk during lunch last week in SFO and caught this scene when Farmers market was in full swing at the Ferry building. It was quite a sunny day with clear blue sky. I envisioned a painting right there with bright blue sky with the Ferry building and the cooler shadows from the palms. For a small sized painting, this took little longer than I expected but I am quite happy with how it turned out. Hope you like it :)

Weekly Painting #3 - Lady in Red

I love it when I get caught in the rain in SFO downtown. Last week it was still raining when I got out of work. The buildings were lit up and the roads were lit up from the building/vehicle reflections. Every scene there called for a painting.

Not very often I run in to ladies with bright red raincoat and yellow umbrella. I was happily taking some reference shots and got super excited when a red MUNI came in to the scene :). I was dying to paint the visual and spent my Friday night exactly doing that. Here is the painting,

Hello Sunshine !!

Sunshine err Sunflowers everywhere.. How can any artist resist painting them ? During my lunch run to SFO Ferry building few weeks ago, farmers market was in full swing and I saw this gorgeous sunflower bunch sitting on a table. Clicked it on my iphone thinking it will make a good reference someday.

After a particularly stressful week at work, I needed some cheering up and chose to paint this today. I didn't want to get bogged down by details. Decided to keep it loose and have fun with it. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. Hope you like it too :)
