Acrylic on Panel - 8 x 10 inches
I tried a very simplified version of this scene, starting with a very dark purple underpainting and then carving the trees out from the background with the bright greens.

Garden Path
Acrylic on Panel - 8 x 10 inches
Those red tries are like a bullfighters cape, taunting me to paint them. Promising me it will be easy. Never letting me get more than "almost" there.

Weather Check
Acrylic on Panel - 9 x 12 inches
You never know what the weather is going to be in SF, from moment to moment, from neighborhood to neighborhood.
I wonder if future generations will wonder why so many paintings from the teens are of solitary figures looking at small rectangular objects in their hands.

Hill Rise
Acrylic on Panel - 6 x 5 inches
Trying to stay focused on color and not detail, I think I've managed to get the most accurate golden straw color yet. The trees, not so much.
Here's one I did on the iPhone later in the day that has more of the feel I was trying to get.

East Wing
Acrylic on Panel - 6 x 6 inches
I tried to simplify wherever possible, but still got mired in the details, so I scraped it off.
A bit looser on the second go, but still not what I was aiming for.

Garden Pathway
Acrylic on Panel - 5 x 7 inches
This was a quick sketch, trying to ignore small details, and staying focused on areas of color. Not as easy as it sounds. I did a few other versions, some before, and some after. Some in ink and some in ArtRage on the iPad.
