Painted en plein aire at the Mission San Jose in south San Antonio, Texas. This was one of the many doors in the wall surrounding the courtyard. I loved the patterns of shadows shifting over the rough rock.

Mission Shadows
Painted en plein aire at the Mission San Jose in south San Antonio, Texas. This was one of the many doors in the wall surrounding the courtyard. I loved the patterns of shadows shifting over the rough rock.

"Morning Light"
Been slowly organizing the new studio, and came across some plein aire paintings that had slipped past being blogged a while back...
This one is from the San Antonio Botanical Gardens. I painted it in the morning when the shadows were interesting.

"Koi #11" - First Painting in new Studio!
This new koi painting will be a new work for 2012 at Cactus Jack's in Gruene, TX, along with a few of my 'dailies' from last year that nobody was lucky enough to bid on.
To give you a peek into my creative process, I've posted below, today's original finished painting "Water Lilly #3" which I painted from a lovely photograph of the flower. It was only after scanning it and seeing it on screen that I realized it desperately needed some koi. And so a few strokes later it became "Koi #11". (above) NOW it's finished!

Butterscotch
This little calf had the most unique coloring I think I've ever seen. Made me think of warm butterscotch swirled into white cake batter...(yep - been thinking of food lately!)

Sam
I believe this is my first llama in this series - I don't know why that is; I love the look of llamas. I think this one may have been from the first good photo of a llama in sunlight. My other shots are mostly from indoor petting zoos... That's probably why.
"Sam" will be available at Cactus Jack's in Gruene, Texas through January 2012.

Shye
I loved the gentle expression on this one, and the turn of her head suggests shyness...

Hugo
Well, after the marathon of 5x7 pastel cows last week (most still to be posted) I had a hankerin' to use a paintbrush and give my dry, cracked fingertips a rest (pastel artists, you know what I'm talking about!) So this past Sunday at the bovine paint-out at Cactus Jack's I took along my oils and a photo of this handsome fella'.
Sometimes I really love oil paint ...when I can manage to make it do what I want!
