Painting UCDavis Arboretum

. The arboretum is alive with trees and flowers and practically no one there. I have been painting different areas. No problems with parking as the school is not in session with the virus. Love mixing all the different greens needed at this time of the year. It can be challenging. I am using a credit card and a palette knife paint some of the structures. Most of the scenes are painted wet into wet. Here is one I did last week.

Chatham Springtime Mood

Found a photo of mine from years ago. I was on the bank in front of an auction house sketching and painting the Chatham downtown scene. I was always challenged by the whites and grays of the houses and buildings on the Cape. This is my take on the imagined spring of the downtown in Chatham. It has nothing to do with the current crises of closes business and stay at home customers.
