Camus Hill, 6x6 oil on panel

Went back to Cattle Point this morning. I painted the same scene without the artists.

Magnolias, oil, 8x10

Funny how you're not inspired but then you start painting and you become inspired. That's what happened this morning at Beacon Hill Park. I just love painting flowers!

Blue, oil on canvas, 8x10

I spent the morning painting at the Oak Bay Marina. There are so many boats there....overwhelming. But this little blue boat caught my eye. I renamed it.

Tulips, oil on canvas, 8x10

The tulips are up in Michigan Street Community Garden. I really wasn't feeling too inspired with the tulips but did them anyways. As soon as I got started I got into it. I used my license to squeeze the tulips together and I like the results. 

Camus Meadow, oil on canvas, 8x10

There was too much red attracting the eye. I like this better.

I broke my rule and fiddled with the painting in my studio. I felt  there wasn't enough dominant color  so I  made blue the dominant color. 

Cattle Point Camus, oil on canvas 8x10

It was a lovely morning at Cattle Point. The camus is blooming everywhere. Last year it was so windy at Cattle Point that the wind caught my car door and broke it. Did a painting anyway.
