In the Studio Today... Bolinas Bike Study

Bolinas Beach Bike Study 6" x 6" Oil Pastel, pencil and scratch removal on canvas. This tiny oil pastel study was from a day trip to Bolinas this month, and I hope to do some larger oil paintings of this scene. I love the contrast of the background, blue sky and water with the warm, foreground colors: the orange bike and pinks in the wall. This is the first study I've done in several weeks. I have just about survived 6 straight weeks of summer vacation with my sons out of school. They begin Kindergarten Monday! I am definitely excited to have more time to paint again.
