California Gold


This is one of my paintings that is now hanging at the Bass Concert Hall. These sunflowers were in Arroyo Grande, Ca., and I have painted them several times. This painting is in acrylic, 30 x 30. You may recall that I am very new to acrylics, so I'm pretty pleased with my results. I can hardly wait to paint another big canvas!

Done at last

Well, I finally finished my 3 paintings for the Bass Concert Hall show. Just in the nick of time. I'll post pictures of them after they have been scanned. I took photos, but they didn't turn out very well, so I'm not going to waste time posting them here.

What a relief to have this accomplished! I had no idea that it would take me so long to paint a 30" x 30" painting. I hadn't even painted a full sheet watercolor for a long time. (22" x 30") Now, here is my dilemma; I still see myself as a watercolorist, but now I love how big & bold these paintings in acrylics are. What to do? Will my watercolors become bolder from my exposure to the acrylics? I guess we will see when these new paintings are hanging in the gallery (or the Bass) and I can get feedback from the public. Time will tell.
