Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Cloudy Clouds"

Here's another version of my on-top-of-the-butte-in-Eugene-vista (complete with super-catchy title). I decided to focus more on the sky with this one.

My picture of the scene actually has the previous painting in the holder, but I did both of these from life. You can see that it's pretty crispy here in Eugene (now, at the end of summer), but it makes for some great contrast!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Layers Upon Layers"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   8/30/15
 "Layers Upon Layers" - 8x8in. - click to bid
 
Before my trip to the Sierra's, I got in shape by climbing to the top of a local butte with all my gear. On one of these trips I was by myself so I painted at the top. I had a lot of fun playing around with clouds, as I haven't paint much of them from life. They move fast, which is the challenge. But when they're in layers like this, you can sort of gather information from all over. This painting comes (as you can see) complete with authentic grass and dirt from the area. : ) Unless you want me to wipe it off.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Jagged"

In the Sierra's where we painted, it was pretty warm during the day but cold at night. My "pajamas" kept me warm (in addition to my sleeping bag), but were also what I usually kept on for the first painting of the day, before breakfast. On this particular morning I was near camp and spotted by one of our group. Many thanks to Suzie for capturing the real me! Keep in mind we had no access to mirrors on this trip.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Rock Face"

It's probably becoming clear to you already that I was quite enamored with the rocks in the Sierra's. I called them my outdoor still life subject. For some reason I find them much easier to paint than trees.

Just around the bend from this spot, on the same day, my pal Lori was painting a lovely scene. Unfortunately she hasn't posted the painting yet, but here's Lori's website. She's amazing!
