Eaton Canyon Dec 08



Arroyo Seco Pasadena Dec 08 and Jan 09, New York, gouache 2006, Still Life nov/dec 08.

Today's plein air painting at the Arroyo Seco, Pasadena, in the early afternoon.

Painting class at Eaton Canyon, yesterday, nov. 22 with Frank Serrano. He is amazing... and this is my painting. Probably this was my last lesson w/ Frank this year... we'll may have one more session. Eric Merrel was there too with his students... I may join his group next year...

This is a study after Frank Serrano's clas in San Pedro 2 weeks ago - there are many improvements to be done, but every session I see my painting get better...

This one was my plein air at Frank Serano's class at Santa Monica last saturday in the afternoon... at this time of the year the days are shorter and the sun goes down very quickly. This was the day of those several wild fires, so the air was smoke filled and you could really smell it, and at the same time created those wonderful colors at sunset... my painting is ok, but frank's it was something to be seen... what a master!
