More Bad Paintings - Topanga Ranch Motel

I did some more bad paintings last week. It is so damn hard to paint. These paintings made me decide I have to go back inside and just work on basic techniques.  I was so angry and frustrated with myself that after class was over I signed up for a painting class at 3 Kicks to go back inside and just figure out how to paint bottles and fruit.

 This painting is of these abandonned shacks at Topanga Ranch Motel.

This is behind the motel.  The park rangers said the area is called the "Snake Pit."

Hymn of the Pearl

Fooling around with some of my panels this week on Hymn of the Pearl.

Pacific Palisades off Swarthmore

Did these paintings last Saturday off of Swarthmore in Pacific Palisades in Karl's Class.  I am not a good painter but I have faith if I keep painting I will be good in 5 years.

Eaton Canyon

Did this painting last Saturday in Eaton Canyon is Karl Dempwolf's class.  It's weird to me how the colors are so much duller when you get inside. Karl worked on it a bit.  I feel like I want to photograph my paintings before and after Karl works on them because they change a lot.  I had some brighter colors that I liked but Karl didn't.

Peggy Knoll Roberts Workshop - Costa Mesa

This was an amazing workshop. I want to study with her again.  All these studies were very quick.

Village Green Jackarandas

Did this painting over memorial day weekend it is the Jackarandas in the small Green at Village Green.  I think my trees are a little lollypop-esque.  I need to work on this.
