Art Festival Preview I

I am finally getting around to photographing the paintings I'm doing for the upcoming Laguna Festival of the Arts which will open in July. So here is the first post of what will be probably 15 or 20.
These 2 paintings were done from a very early morning visit I took to Heisler Park a couple of months ago...

Early Waves    8 x 10 inches

First Ride    8 x 10 inches

Crystal Cove Art Show - "In Bloom"

Here I am back to announce a couple of things. My big news is that I was accepted to exhibit in the Laguna Beach Festival of the Arts this year and have been thrown into a fury of painting in order to guarantee I don't run out of work in case I am lucky enough to have good sales. If not, then I'll just have a lot of paintings on hand for which I will have to find wall space. I'll be posting images of the work I'm doing periodically as we get them photographed...

My second announcement is that the gallery I show at at Crystal Cove in Newport Coast is having their first seasonal show of the year, titled "In Bloom". Unfortunately, there isn't much blooming going on quite yet, so I've added floral-ish color where there was none, or else played around with the titles in order to somewhat reflect the theme of the show.

Here they are:

"In Gloom    8 x 10 inches

Bloomin' 'Brellas     8 x 16

El Moro Spring     16 x 20
