Down River Road again (15 x 30)

Here is a version of one of my favorite motifs. I started it last week and completed it today. It's a view looking south down River Road south of Salinas. (it still has some dirt in the left corner of the sky)

Back Home

We are finally back in Monterey County. The difference between the limpid misty coastal air and the dry Eastern Oregon air is remarkable. I can't wait to get painting again. Today is July 18th and the opening reception for the latest MBPAPA show is this evening. I have the two accompanying paintings ("Bottom Lands" and "Tor House Garden") in the show.

Leaving Pendleton

We are leaving Pendleton on Sunday July 13th. It's been a great 4 weeks here, but it's time to get back to the Monterey Bay. Here are a couple more things that I've done recently.

Pendleton, Oregon

I have been in Pendleton Oregon for the last three weeks. Pendleton is typical small-town America with lots of early 20th century bungalows, old cars and trucks on the streets, roses in every garden, and doors that aren't locked at night. While I'm here I have been painting a lot. I had a small opening and demo at Incidentals, a shop that shows my work. Here are some of the things that I had in it.
