| Watercolor No. 1077, "Neighborhood Oak", aka, "SVS Oak",
was painted at the Sacramento Valley School January 8, 2008. 22" x
15", For sale , framed, $400. This is an interpretation of the large
Valley Oak, (quercus lobatus), that protects the school where I work and
volunteer. I initially created the small value plan for the painting during
a staff meeting at the school. The next day I painted the work using an
acrylic wash to begin and and opaque white to finish. The important part
of this painting was stopping before I wrecked it. I enjoyed creating a
puzzle with the branches that start from anywhere and end nowhere. This
massive oak shows itself best in January sans foliage. It stands proud having
just survived, with minor damage, the Storm of '08. This work and one other work accepted Vacaville Annual Juried Open Show, April 25-May23, 2008. The work was awarded an Honorable Mention. |
