A road in Fillmore, CA
I know I’ve been quiet for awhile…. it’s been busy….. but now I’m in the process of preparing for a Wine and Paint class that I’m giving this Wednesday evening at Vanguard Art Gallery in Moreno Valley. I chose something a little more landscape, and not a post-sunset, a before-sunset scene. The view is through orange groves in Fillmore, a drive that I used to take when sitting at the first gallery that I showed at, in Ojai.
In the process of showing what is possible, I painted the scene this afternoon, in part to run through how I would best organize progress for a class. I omitted the phone poles from the photograph – mainly because once you put the poles up, it’s good to put the wires on them, and that requires a steady hand….. Did I mention that it’s a wine and paint class…..

Anyway here is the finished version. I took me about an hour and a half so that should work out just fine for the class. Hmm, might enter that into the National Orange show next month…..
