A Familiar Landmark Here

There is a mountain here that I am sure has been painted and photographed a million times.
It is known as Tetakawi Mountain and has been filmed in several movies as well over the years, such as Catch 22 and Zorro to name a couple.
A few weeks ago while I was hanging out at an art show I couldn't resist taking a few more photos of this mountain.
After looking at my photos I decided I liked one of them and decided to paint it.

So here it is.

Art Show/Sale

The art group in San Carlos had an art show/sale this morning, so I took some of my paintings over there.
Spent the morning sitting in the sun and chatting.
Nice venue.

 Setting up.

Local scenery.

Came home and made myself a torta out of some leftover Cochinita Pibil that I had made yesterday and then relaxed.
Later on we went outside and watched some dark clouds blow in with thunder rumbling, shortly after it began to rain hard.  Very odd weather for this time of year here.

Fooling Around

Today I decided it was a good day to just fool around.  I got out one of my photos that I had taken years ago from the scenic viewpoint in San Carlos, the little town about 15 miles from us.

I felt like doing something a bit looser than my usual rather tight and controlled way of doing things.

This is the result, not the greatest; but it was fun anyway.

Soft pastel on Canson MiTientes pastel paper
Title:  Scenic View
Size:  Approx. 11 x 15 inches or approx. 28 x 38 cms.

Tomorrow I am participating in a sale in San Carlos, hopefully there will be a good turn out as it is a fund raiser for the Rescate group there.

Sunrise From the Patio

Well, here is the latest painting that I just finished.  It is a bit of a departure from my usual controlled style and is done partly with the palette knife, a first for me.

I also, for the first time, used wall paste compound to get a rougher textured area for the stucco house wall.

The painting is titled:  Sunrise From The Patio and is oil on MDF board, 12 x 16 inches or approx. 30 x 40 cm.
