It was a cinnamon donut and fruit punch Peeps- a new color and they actually smelled pretty good. But Peeps are always a metaphor for something.

This summer I took a trip to Boise and then up to a mountain town called McCall. The green landscape surprised me and I found it very inspiring. I’ve already posted most of the pictures from that trip that were successful.
This one was less successful at the first go so I tried to push it in a different direction when I got back to San Diego. I thought about painters like Daubigny or Diaz who reworked a plein air hot mess into a successful studio landscape for one thing. And another, I thought of European classical landscapes. Even though there are no Roman ruins or dancing nymphs here, I was re-reading Game of Thrones and found it easy to picture this rugged landscape as the setting for parts of Westeros.
I really like exploring these alleys.

For as long as I can remember, my grandfather has lived deep in the Oklahoma countryside. Going for a visit always reminds me of childhood summers.
I left this still life set up for a few weeks and worked on it when I felt like it. By the end the baguette was bleached completely white.

“The Bloody Baguette.” The red blotch is when I went to make a sandwich. Knife slipped and I got my thumb most impressively. After brief reflection, realized this was no longer edible and decided to paint it. I avoid artisan-style baguettes for exactly this reason.
