September is great painting weather in Northern California, and I am hitting the road with my paints!  Next week, I will be a "celebrity" plein air artist and on the awards panel at the Mendocino Open Paint Out. But first,  I am headed to the Knowlton Gallery in Lodi, California for the opening of the group show  "Bouquets: Gardens, Farmer's Markets and Floral Still Lifes."  If you are in Northern California, this gallery is well worth a visit , and it would be terrific to see you there at the reception: Saturday, September 7th from 1 - 4 p.m.  The show will hang until September 28th.  Here is a slideshow preview of the five paintings I will be showing.

I was recently in Charleston, SC. Here are a series of paintings I did while I was there. They are currently on display in Galerie On Broad in Charleston.

I love traveling  to different areas across  the country. I call the series of paintings I do at any particular location, "Portraits of a Place." The more I paint a location, the better I understand it. Charleston was new to me and was very inspiring.

Mudheads

Here is  a demonstration that I did at Weekend With The Masters in Monterey, CA. This is what Charles Hawthorne used to refer to as a “mudhead.”  These were models, backlit against the ocean. The flesh was so dark that is resembled the color of mud. Hence, the term “Mudhead.”
I warmed up and lightened the ocean color to offset all the darks in the figure. My Model, Erin, is a silhouette against the water in the distance.
