Latte and Carrot Cake

Well, you can guess where I’ve been today; the coffee shop. I’ve spent several afternoons there recently instead of painting as we have beautiful top down weather here and I don’t have any schedule to keep. (You may have noticed the lack of posted paintings for the last few days.) I actually had this combination yesterday and it tasted so good that I wanted to share it with all of you. So, here you are – Latte and Carrot Cake - courtesy of Buckthorn’s Coffee & Deserts shop, Sacramento, CA

A Cup of Coffee

It occurred to me this morning, having just finished preparing Thanksgiving Day Dinner and popping it into the oven and as I was having a cup of coffee, that throughout U.S. history we have celebrated this day by sharing with others. So I decided that before I find my way to the Lazy-boy and sip on some brandy that I should share a cup of coffee with all of you. So have a happy Thanksgiving Day.

Trees On Ridge – This is painted from another photo I took last year while traveling up highway 1 in northern California. As I mentioned before, it’s a photographers and painters paradise. The afternoon sun was out as we traveled north and there was still some leaves changing colors amongst the evergreens. The colorful trees stuck out like fire through the sun colored ground fog and created this scene. If you have never been on this drive before, you should try it in the fall. Trees On Ridge- Let me know what you think please…….

Oregon Coast No. 1

About this time last year, 2006, we took a drive up highway 1 through northern California and Oregon. This route is a photographers and painters paradise for material. The fall of the year is especially good if you like fog and mystic scenes, which I do. I took hundreds of pictures on that trip and have never painted anything from them until today. This picture is of a part of a bay just south of Gold Beach, Oregon. Of course I took a little license, but the day we were there it looked very much like this. The beach sand is formed from volcanic and other rock so it appears gray to black. There were blue skies to the west, fog and clouds around the water and inland. The air was brisk and crisp. After that it was a hot breakfast at a local café just north of there. What a great day.

I was on my way to the coffee shop at about 6:30 this morning when I saw this guy standing in front of McDonalds with a sign that said "Will work for food". Now, not many guys are out at 6:30 AM on Sunday looking for work unless they are really needy. Well I didn't have any work that needed doing, that's my opinion and not my wife's, but the guy looked like he could use a hand. I bought him a breakfast sandwich and coffee and then drove on to the coffee shop all the time thinking that you could see the desperation in his face. Later I came home and painted this quick study in his likeness.

This is another painting from a photo I took from a cruise ship a couple of years ago at Yukatat bay, Alaska. Yukatat bay is a good distance north and west of Juneau. As we got closer to the glacier itself, icebergs floated in the water, some of them the size of a house. The sun was bright that day and late in the afternoon it was a stellar day for color photography. Some of you are probably also photographers as I am, so you will understand what I mean. You could not have asked for a better day to take pictures.

ALASKA No.1– A couple of years ago we took a cruise ship to Alaska. One day somewhere considerably north of Juneau we cruised into Yukatat bay on our way to get up close and personal with Hubbard glacier, there were huge tufted clouds along with ground fog. The mountains on both sides of the ship got closer and closer as we ventured closer to the glacier. I took many pictures that day and this is a painting of a photo from that day.

PITTS IN FLIGHT – When I lived in the Dallas, TX area thirty some years ago I was inspired to take flying lessons after seeing an exhibition of aerobatics preformed by a group of pilots from the Ft. Worth, TX area who were flying Pitts aircraft like this one. If you’ve ever seen such an exhibition of skill and machine you can understand the motivation. Let me know what you think...........
