Painting demonstration

Here are a few photos from my afternoon painting on Saturday in Gallery i fine art in Monterey, CA.

I arrived at the gallery with the outlines of the initial painting prepared and went from there.

In the gallery.

Blocking in the color as quickly as possible, to create a feel for the work. I always feel that on location you need to get the flavor of the work as fast as you can, to entice watchers and let people see how you plan to progress.

A shameful example of a disorganized palette. I've never been able to embrace a well laid out palette despite how many other artists feel about this; thus, I've developed a thick skin.

People watching as I get fiddly!

Always time for a photo moment!
