While waiting for the mountain paintings to dry I worked in this beautiful studio. I wanted to capture the “spirit” of the studio…the Flowing curtains, the view outside and the symmetry and balance of the room. This is, my dream studio!

This the (almost) final painting of the Monserrat mountains. It required a daily mountain uphill hike in 100 degree weather. I wanted to show movement in the composition. There is realism and a bit of surrealism. A change in my normal style.

After painting the Monserrat mountains where I was standing for 3 weeks,  I grew weary so I turned around and this was the opposite view of the Village behind me in the evening. The lighting was magical, so I focused on the drama of the light and shadows instead of small colors.
