Oil paintings of my travels.🍊
Squint at ‘em- it’s what I do.

6”x12” oil of a sunset on the pacific coast.
1:2 is possibly my favorite scale. Years ago I used to condense all my landscape compositions like this to 1:1 because of instagram’s square format.

Painted over a month ago, on a day I made several of these, but kept only one. This 6”x3” mini has been hiding in the back of my drying rack. I don’t anticipate making anymore this size; this year I want the 6”x6” studies to be the smallest I make. I’m adding a larger 16”x16” scale to my rotation.

The best light shapes are seen from my rear view mirror. Especially on two lane highways or strip mall parking lots.
