Kalana Avenue, 24×12, oil on canvas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Second in my yearlong Preserve Coyote Valley Series.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coyote Valley<\/a>, a large expanse of farmlands, orchards, and scattered homes has been the subject of a war between the developers and conservationists for years. I am spending a year painting at least once a month a scene in the valley, either en plein air (on location), or studio paintings. You can read about my first painting in this year long quest here<\/a>, and a video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have had an unusual number of storms coming through the San Francisco Bay area the last week or so. For the second Coyote Valley painting, I decided to make it as much about the sky as the valley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The painting is a barn along Kalana Avenue, a short street just over a mile long in the valley. I started this piece en plein air (on location), but finished it in the studio…probably about 70-30. I took a little artists license and moved some trees around, shortened the barn, but overall it’s about what it looked like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are a few shots of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned for more. I still have to report on the Carmel Art Festival with some great drone video along the California coast!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
