I wanted to see if I could do a combination of drawing in ink and the abstract and this is what I came up with.  I applied the drawing first and waited for it to dry before I added the abstract elements. At some point it reminds me of stained glass.

Day 4 -- Pumpkin

I love the colorful variety of pumpkins that are available every year.  I thought the yellow, oranges, greens and grays would fun to paint today.

Big Pumpkin

Just a few miles away from where I live is an area called Old Tustin.  A few years ago, the city of Tustin started welcoming plein air painters to come and paint for a few days in October. The week ends with an art walk and judging of the plein air paintings.  I was instantly attracted to the orange and red colors when I saw them against the green house.  While this piece did not make it to the contest due to a shortage of time and bad weather and first time plein air contest anxiety, I finally finished it in the studio for you to enjoy.
