I will be taking these two Plein Air paintings to Encinitas City Hall today where they will hang until July 16 in a exhibit.  

It is still a challenge for me to paint outdoors - and these are both a little larger than I normally use when on site - so they both took two outings to complete.

If you get a chance to come down to see the exhibit let me know what you think!

Last month I participated in the San Diego Botanic Garden's Artist QuickDraw.   We had 3 hours to complete a painting on site.   Instead of the landscape and iconic scenes in the gardens I chose this little red wagon that was in the plant sale area.   For some reason it reminded me of being a little kid playing with my brother and sister!  I wanted to capture that moment in time!
