I have a number of works in a new exhibit at the Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor, NY. Check it out if you’re in the area. There is no opening due to COVID, but the gallery is open normally.
The paintings were all done either en plein air in California, or later in my studio from studies.
Here are some photos of the paintings, for those of you who can’t make it:
Laguna Cliffs. 10 x 12 in., oil on panel.
I’ve been in Los Angeles teaching a small plein air workshop. Here are a few of the small sketches from the trip. Most are the paintings I do while demonstrating what to do so the artwork did not receive my full concentration. The good news is that I am finally getting better at talking while I paint after all these years.
Hyperion Bridge. 8 x 8 in., oil on panel.
Pines at Griffith Park. 8 x 10 in., oil on panel.
Fountain at Griffith Park. 6 x 8 in., oil on panel.
Eucalyptus. 11 x 14 in., oil on panel.
Palisades Cliffs. 11 x 14 in., oil on panel.
Still have to get the bugs off the canvas on that last one.
I remember the reason I wanted to become a landscape painter when I was young was the desire to paint the beauty of California. Its been a wonderful experience to be back painting plein air here after all these years.
There was also a small portrait workshop during the week.
