"Goleta Painters"

Yeah, we’re still at it! It’s just rare to get the shots onto the site.
We’ve got some plans in the works, possible summer shows, and other ideas that we’re kickin around.

Re-visiting one of my favorite views out at Elwood. Photo by Tim Shortell, a student of Brooks Institute of Photography.

Here are a few nightscapes done by Mike, Andrew and myself.

Yup there’s my token tinnnnny painting. I really can’t help it! I figure if I make enough of em, I’ll be able to fill a gallery wall. Top to bottom.

A collaborative piece between myself and Andrew,

This is the second day, you can see mike up ahead in the distance.
I was using my palet knife for part of this painting, experimenting a little but with texture.

Amazing how you can go to a spot and totally miss something, go back again and have it pointed out from some fresh eyes and it quickly becomes a favorite composition to paint.

This one was painted along side Andrew, it was a weird day where fog would roll in and out again, I decided to tackle the fog, while Andrew right next to me, went for the sun. So after a full day of switching off, we had two very different paintings.

This was done a couple weeks ago. I’ve been out painting so much the last few weeks that I haven’t even gotten the chance to post.
Much more to come!
