I didn’t finish these four paintings in one day. I just made a little progress on each one. The color looks a bit off to me in each one, because I used the phone instead of the camera. Well, what did I expect? It’s a TELEPHONE!

This painting now has more light and shadow on the road. Is it enough? Can I be finished now?

This painting has touched up poppies. All that is left is leaves on the skeletal tree and blossoms on the lupine stalks. Maybe.

This painting is a 10×10″ and will become a walnut grove. Maybe. Kind of a difficult subject, but maybe all the practice on the top painting will make this less intimidating.

This 10×10″ painting is also intimidating and will become an olive grove. Maybe.

I said to myself, “Self”, I said, “It’s all hard at first, all intimidating, and it all works out with enough layers. So, keep painting these scenes of Tulare County, and do it with confidence!”

There! Guess I told her!
