SMALL LANDSCAPE

I believe I am on a renaissance:

Curiosity as a way of thinking

Suspicion of authority and conventional wisdom

Respect for intelligently filtered history

Aspiration to higher levels of achievement

Vision for renewed potential in all things

Tendency to invent private systems

Reinvention and perfection of former skills

Accepting the challenge of the difficult

Will this be my final painting while living in California? My Arizona studio/home will be ready in two weeks! Time to pack my paints! Please keep in touch: www.gacostafineart.com

This is an original oil painting, 8" x 10" on archival canvas board.

ARTISTS AT WORK

This is such a typical scene of plein air artists who go out in the field to paint. These two friends of mine literally did just that. They are out in the hay field on this ranch near Morro Bay. As you can see, one is taking a little respite!
This original oil painting is 9" x 12" on quality archival canvas board.
I enjoy receiving comments on these paintings and would love to hear from you on my e-mail.

JEANNIE'S ROSES

Here's a revealing note on an artist's "trick". I was given a rejected canvas that had an image painted on it by a friend, Susan Greaves. She had painted over the image with a light mauve wash. I decided to play with this canvas by painting these flowers. I was influenced by the background wash when chosing the colors.

It is an original oil....9" x 12" on quality archival canvas board. Enjoy!
