I made this painting a couple months ago as a commission for someone. Its one of my favorite ones of 2016. Ive got to get back out there again this time with an afternoon and green winter hills. I know people say we don't have seasons here, its not true. You just need to be more sensitive to them.</div>

The clouds would completely fill in and then break up. When your painting a view for several hours, you really see how much it can change. The painting can end up being a disjointed combination of many different moments if your not careful. I tried my best to pick out the most exemplative colors and light. After contemplating it for a few days I decided it made the cut.</span></div>

I've been driving by this view for the past 7 years thinking about what a great painting it would make. I finally walked the couple hundred yards from East Beach and was greeted with fluffy clouds and a cool breeze. Bike riders and stroller pushers where giving my thumbs ups and waves as they cruised by. La Cumbre Peak really stands back from the rest of the range from this angle. You can't quite see it but the Jerry Garcia Mountain is off to the right - as one of the bystanders pointed out to me.</div>

We go paired with a 0 and 3 handicap the first day and realized why we aren't a 0 or a 3. We played okay, I had a couple birdies and good par saves which made my day. The weather was perfect. I made this after, while they figured out who won. It wasn't us this time...</span>Chris Potterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03615015690646010654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8397017170639143559.post-35553121571605723072016-12-22T15:36:00.001-08:002016-12-22T15:36:59.908-08:00"The Grand Santa Barbara Riviera", Santa Barbara, California<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Made in the studio, this is an assimilation of all the paintings I've made here. It's such a different process painting without the ever changing view in front of you. I enjoy the pressure of painting on location. But it's also nice to be at home and contemplate a view. Please come and see this big boy in person at Distinctive Art Gallery, 1331 State Street. Open Mon-Sat 10-5pm.</div>

This was a commissioned piece and the widest painting I have ever done en plein air. Its so much fun to have all that space to work with. Painting big views like this become so much easier. </div>
