"Peter's Canyon Morning 2" 9" x 12" oil on Board

Photo is a bit dark but I enjoyed painting this and getting a colorful tree.

"A Touch of Gold" 5" x 7" oil on Board

Finally getting back to painting!   I have been ill for 4 weeks now and had not felt much like painting.  I did a quick couple hour painting, so very much impressionistic which is quite fun.  I call it, "A Touch of Gold".

"Fruit of our Labors" - 9" x 12" oil on Board

Today's painting.  I don't know what to call.  Any suggestions?  I still may work on the face a bit.  Still trying to get in creative brush strokes.

"Historic El Toro Grammar School - Plein Air" - 9 x 12" oil on Board

 What a hidden gem!  I have lived in Orange County for 30 years and have never heard of Heritage Hill tucked at the bottom of the Ralph's parking lot on the corner of Trabuco and Lake Forrest.  Go visit!  It is free.

I will paint there once again and hope to see my nearby family again as well.
