I worked some more on this view of the Santa Teresa mountains - basically I darkened the value of the mountains. I’m much happier with it now. 22x14”

Finished the mural at Novelle Senior Living on the wall outside of the Memory Care unit. Hard to get a good photo because it’s in a hallway, so used the panorama option on my phone

I decided to start sketching again in my garden journal that I made last year. I find the process meditative and great for developing my drawing and observation skills! This is one small stem of a plant that grows like a weed in my yard. And yes, the bees love it!

Working on a design for a large mural (gouache plus Procreate). Still need to hide some “Easter eggs” (little hidden surprises) in it per my client’s wishes.

I did a studio version of my previous plein air painting at Ed Levin park. It’s more controlled and I like some of the effects here, but the mood is different. I find painting from life is best for capturing the mood of a place.
