Here is the finished painting.
It took about 3 hours to get to this stage. I had to make a hard stop to avoid overworking. Looking forward to more painting in the open soon :)

A tree from Vasona Park - Plein Air Painting
Things have been crazy lately but I did manage to squeeze in some time for a Plein Air workshop today with Kristen Olsen at Vasona Park, Los Gatos. It was an interesting expereience for me, trying to let go of my studio painting habits and focus on values, composition. Here is a collage with pics that I took to document my progress.

Coyote Hills Plein Air
Sorry for being MIA for a while. Past two months have been crazy at work and I am trying hard to keep up my painting schedule. I did manage to squeeze in sometime to go for the 4th Annual Plein Air paintout organized by East Bay parks last month at Coyote Hills Regional Park in Fremont. There were about 15-20 artists. It was a gorgeous day and I chose to paint the marsh. Took me about 2 hours to finish the painting below.
Done on a 11X14 Canvas with Watersoluble oil.
The Egrets kept darting in & out of my frame and I couldn't resist including them in the painting :). Here is a closeup of them.

Pink Pacific - Oil Painting
Happy Earthday !! Hope you were able to enjoy something natural, something earthy, something outside today. I wanted to go out and do some plein air painting today to celebrate earth in my own way. Didn't quite workout, so I chose to finish this painting that I started some time last year.
This one is based on a photograph that I took during my visit to Carmel on a clear spring day. Pink ice plants carpets the Pacific Grove area in Carmel every spring and provides a stunning contrast to the blue ocean. Initially I wasn't sure if this is the composition that I wanted - I felt the rock was more distracting and took away the emphasis from the ice plants. After looking at it few months now, I think now I have grown to like the rock. :). So , here is the finished painting..

Twilight Creek - Oil Painting
A very Happy Newyear to the blog readers. I am grateful for all your visits and comments.
Here is the first blog painting for 2012 ( though technically it is my last painting of 2011 ). Inspired by the soft autumn twilight sky and it's reflections on a rocky creek. And done with water soluble oil on a 16 X 20 canvas. Hope you like it :)
