For these new paintings, I thought I would introduce them going from south to north, just for fun.  We are starting in PB and ending up at Blacks.  I hope you like them.

“Law Street”

Watercolor  12 x 17”  $550

I am always looking for different places to paint.  I don’t surf in PB very much, so I don’t go there as often as other spots, but all the elements for good paintings can be found there too. 

“Tourmaline”

Watercolor 12 x 17”  $550

Late afternoon, low tide rising, and a small glassy day.  There will be fun waves everywhere on days like this - just pick your spot.

“Birdrock Again”

Watercolor  12 x 17”  $550

This is a lot like another painting I did of Birdrock.  Small differences in color and foreground water.  I like them both, but this one worked out a little bit better.  Maybe I’ll try and enhance the first BR painting.  And I think I’ll keep going to this spot for further inspiration.  There is a lot of good stuff here

“Windansea Sunset”

Watercolor  10 x 16”  $450

I’ll never tire of spending time at Windansea.  I love the warm summer evening feel in this painting.  The water was really warm, and the air was still.  What a nice evening

“Pumphouse”

Watercolor  12 x 16”

I looked through some old photos I have for a new project for my watercolor class.  This painting has a lot of really nice elements for demonstrating and teaching watercolor.  The big sky, the small peninsula in the background and ocean in the middle ground, with the shack and rocks n the foreground.  I really liked seeing all the different interpretations that the students in my class came up with.  And I liked my painting too.

“Silver Almond”

Watercolor  12 x 16”  $525

I did this painting with my more advanced students.  It is a way more challenging painting to do than the Windansea one.  All the colors needed to relate to each other in this one - the sky and water and cliffs and reflections.  And more control needed to be exercised with the wet into wet portions.    It was a good learning experience and we practiced some good techniques.  

“The Takeoff”

Watercolor  12 x 17”  $550

A small day at Blacks and no one trying to get your wave.  I love surfing without crowds.  I love it.  Even if that means smaller waves.  I would surf this wave 5 million times and have fun each time.  Chest high and glassy - so ripable.
