SLO 2: Los Osos
12x16 oil on linen
This was the second afternoon of the paint out. I was on the Los Osos side of Moro Bay about 4 blocks from where we stayed and running out of time. I was originally thinking about a boat picture, but in the end thought that was all to conventional so I turned my back to the bay and painted the back fence of some of the older houses at the bay edge. I was attracted the dramatic light on the house and the big shadow shape on the ice plant. Also my decision became pragmatic due to the time constraints of the peaking light.

Another beautiful painting. Just wanted to chime in here because I've been silently observing for a while : )
Beautiful, love it! I'm waiting for some checks to come, when they do, I'm ordering your book!
You make it look so easy! I like the little flecks of yellow in there. : )
Looks great! Makes me wish for warmer weather and wist for summer days in Nova Scotia...
Another nice one!
An awesome color burst at the house.
I am interested in how the detail on the houses draws me in to the painting. Something must have been throwing that big purple shadow across the foreground. It is like a half abstract/half representational painting. How many paintings did you do at SLO2? Guess we had to be there to see the rest...:)
thanks Katz--
I sensed your presence.
That red roof is stunning William. This piece has a wonderful Rothko quality to it where color is king. Great composition and lovely details.
Beautiful piece!
