Back in the saddle again

I haven’t done any art work for the past couple of months mostly because of some needful distractions and partly because of a creative slump. I decided I needed to get myself out of this creative fear. So having been inspired by places seen during our recent trip to California, I’m back in the saddle again with some digital painting. Here is a sneak peak at something I started working on today.

All of my digital land and seascape paintings have been squares (3000 x 3000 px). This time I thought I would do a size that I hope will fit a more standard size frame such as a 16 x 20 inch and be easier to frame.

You can see the finished piece in the “recent work” gallery of this site.

Bakersfield Hills No. 11 | This one is from a reference picture I took out the car window while my wife was driving east along Hwy 58 through the hills above Bakersfield, California on our way home from Cayucos on the central coast a week ago. It’s late July and the hills above Bakersfield are golden and brown with punctuations of green.
