Painting I started in a demonstration.

I was asked to do a demonstration/presentation for the East Valley Art Association in San Jose this past November.  The top image is the point I reached in the painting during the demo and below is the painting after I worked some more on it in my studio. The location of the landscape reference photo is south San Jose along Santa Teresa Road....north of Morgan Hill, and I chose this scene as it's a pretty simple landscape and it is quite a bit of pressure for me to do a painting in front of an audience.  Hopefully, I'm getting a bit more comfortable at it, as I've agreed to do another demo in Sunnyvale, Ca next March!

North of Bodega Bay

I just put this painting up for auction on http://www.dailypaintworks.com/ starting at $94.  Here I'm showing the painting with the frame that comes with.
Bodega Bay is the coastal town in which the movie "The Birds" was filmed, quite a few years ago.
