Attended a plein air event yesterday with SOCALpapa at Shipley Nature Center in Huntington Beach. I am thrilled that sold both a studio painting, and the plein air painted there.

Below is the studio painting I sold at the event.

A week ago I did another plein air oil painting session at Aliso Beach in Laguna, and brought @uncommonsage.bsky.social along. That was her first time landscape painting there, my second. Perfect fall beach weather! (1 of 3)

I made a linocut of my neighbor’s house, for his 70th birthday gift. I then water colored the print, and my husband made an oak frame for it. He liked it so much he may have cried a bit 🥹 good neighbors are everything 🏡 #linocut #watercolor #printmaking

Not quite the same, but we inherited my father in laws indoor cat, and we have a dog. They got along fine.

May I present: Majestic Bird. #morningwalk #seabirds #heron
A black heron spreads its wings and looks to the sky while perched atop a red float ball. Its reflection and that of the ball is mirrored in the water below it. Reflections of buildings are seen above the bird.

Very quick plein air oil painting today. Apparently there was going to be a race, so they made @uncommonsage.bsky.social and I leave after about an hour. But fun was had!

You ever sell a painting at a venue and forget to take it
off another platform and then sell it again? #oilpainting oops

I finished up this plein air oil painting I started last week. My daughter and I try to go outdoors to paint every Wednesday. We both loved this scene and the raking light across the path. 🎨
Oil painting of trees and grass. Grass is lower on the left and higher on the right. A concrete path curves through the middle. Light is raking across the scene casting shadows across the path.

When I chose this crab linocut for this months calendar, I didn’t realize I was settling the whole damn mood.

Two watercolor paintings from my camping trip at Jalama Beach, CA last week. When I go camping I do a plein air painting every morning while DH makes breakfast. It gives me a nice travel diary of our trips, and painting really fixes the scene in your mind. 🎨

June is the month of my anniversary, along with many other couples. So if it is yours as well, happy anniversary! I carved this linoleum cut many years ago for the occasion 🩷

Here is a plein air oil painting from last May. I had fun trying to capture the subtle colors in this scene.

I interrupt this economy to announce that I bought this working vintage shake maker at a yard sale this weekend for $5.
I will henceforth be drowning my anxiety in milkshakes for the foreseeable future. (Or as long as I can still afford ice cream.)

I took a photorealistic letterpress class last weekend with the amazing Rebecca Chamlee at the International Printing Museum in Carson, California. It was fun to see everyone’s photos come to life!
