Giant Gap #2 8x10

This was painted on a rare nice day this month. Normally I would be doing a lot more plein air work by this time of year but the weather has been uncooperative.

sky #2 8x6

clouds 4.5x4

It's been raining for the last few days. It stopped today and we had these great clouds floating through.

stream 12x9

This is a small stream off of Scott Road toward El Dorado Hills. It was a fantastic day for painting. I got hit with a little rain but it didn't last too long.

off Scott Road 8x10

Scott Road is a rural lane between sacramento and El Dorado Hills. There's plenty of material out there for a plein air painter but It's pretty narrow and there aren't too many places to pull off and paint. This rocky knoll was an exception. There was just enough room for me to get my car off the road.

Indian Hill 5x7

I saw these clouds above Indian Hill on my drive up to work this morning. I didn't have time to stop and paint them so I did my best to commit them to memory and I started painting as soon as I got to school. I had about 45 minutes before any students showed up so I got a pretty good start on it. It was kind of fun having the freedom to sort of wing it.
