“Tin Roof” oil on panel, 11×14
I’ve painted this barn before, but this time I focused on the shadow cast by the edge of the roof. It’s amazing how bright a new tin roof can be in the sun.

Three Sixty Eight
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
“Three Sixty Eight”, 5×7″, oil on panel, $75. Available at my Etsy store.
As part of my series of paintings on the Petaluma river, I’ve been looking at all the older industrial buildings downtown and along the river. I really like the abstract quality of this one, although the ventilators on one building were very difficult to capture. The title is from the numbers painted on one of the buildings.
For those of you in the area, my last outdoor show of the season is next weekend in San Carlos. Hope to see you there!

“The Five”, oil on panel, 8×10, $320
This channel marker is about 4 miles downstream from the rowing club dock on the Petaluma river, and the first time I rowed all the way to “the five” it was a big deal. Now this marker is a familiar friend on my morning rows.
Five Pilings

“Five Pilings”, oil on panel, 5×7″, $75
Did I mention I’ve been focused on painting along the Petaluma river recently? Here’s my most recent favorite view. The challenge of painting the river is that everything is so horizontal, so having the pilings and the great shapes of the distant vineyard really help break it up.
