While I am waiting to begin the murals at the giant church in Visalia, I have time to paint. However, I don’t have any deadlines, no upcoming shows, no commissions (there are a couple, but they are still in the conversation stage), and it has been BEE-YOO-TEE-FULL outside.
So, I work a little, walk a little, and work a little more.
When I am thinking about walking, it is a little bit hard to focus on detail. So, the detail on this 6×18″ oil painting of Tulare County’s best will have to wait.
Let’s make like a tree and leaf.
Nothing in particular to photograph, just the same beautiful scenes of February in my Three Rivers neighborhood.
The elephant on Alta Peak is very clear, with a shadow making an ear and a rocky place making an eye. His back leg is significantly larger than his front. And there is Moro Rock.
A neighbor’s narcissus are in bloom. Mine are too, but I don’t want you to get too bored with the repetition here.
Back to work, Central California Artist!
This is 10×20″. Sawtooth is the peak on the left, and Homer’s Nose is visible on the right. 
I photographed this at an angle so you could see a bit of the reference photo minus the glare.
Nothing is finished after today’s disjointed painting attempts, but there was progress made, and February was enjoyed. Such a short month. Sigh.
