at Chemers Gallery in Tustin CA.

There are times when one canvas just isn't enough.  Sometimes a painter comes across a landscape scene that is so stunning,  you just need more.

These two paintings were created for the Scenes of Tustin show.  They can stand alone or hang side by side with the bottom one to the left of the top one.  It isn't possible on this site to show them side by side I don't think but you can always email me for an image showing this.

I didn't start out planning on doing a diptych.  I wanted to paint two Tustin (a city in California) landscapes and I wanted to paint them at the same time.  I started using the same photo on each of them - a shot I had taken with my sister, who lives in this area.  Soon, I saw that the two were lining up somewhat and it was then that I made the decision.  I would then work on one while the other was off to the side and then when I would put them together again I would laugh at how I had goofed.  After way too may goofs, it wasn't funny anymore...

So, after many adjustments, I think I've got it.

Go check out the Scenes of Tustin Show - the reception is at Chemers Gallery in Tustin Ca

I love the colors in this painting.  It is very soft and calming.

  I have recently painted several paintings in these colors and am in the process of posting them onto my website.

Here is the second 6x6 that will make up my next triptych.   I will post the third soon and follow with the three of them framed.  I know you can hardly stand the suspense!

6 x 6" oil on board.  This is the first of three pieces that I am going to frame together - another triptych!
I posted a pallete knife triptych of the Newport Beach Back Bay a few months ago.  This series of three small paintings is inspired by our California farmlands.  I love the shapes and color variations of the land while driving through or flying over these areas.  If I believed in past lives I think I would have to guess I had been a farmer.  I am the only person I know, living is Newport Beach, who composts!
