Small daily oil paintings, painted in a plein air impressionistic style on stretched canvas or canvas board created and posted regularly. 2012 update: After 6 years, the postings now include larger paintings along with the small works. My goal is to reach 1,000 paintings posted by the end of this year. 2013 update: The original goal was met and exceeded, from now on I will post paintings that are successful or might be of interest.

"Valhalla's Last Moments" ©
Wagners Ring Cycle is hitting Los Angeles in full force and part of the celebration is an exhibit of paintings created by artists and their vision gained from the opera. This painting is my fantasy of what Valhalla would look like just before it's destruction. I wanted the sky to look wild with energy, ready to smash the kingdom of the gods.
Meanwhile I am off to paint and play in Kauai. Hopefully I'll hook up with some plein air painters and make some new friends. Aloha!

Nice job!!
Wow! Very nice! Off to Kauai, eh? That would explain why we didn't see you at the Wisteria Festival in Sierra Madre today. We missed you! Have safe and productive trip!
Thanks Tony, yes Kauai was amazing. We played hard, rested in between and soaked up all that we could during our short visit. I am sorry that I missed you and Tina, maybe the next show. I'll be at Sierra Madre and Beverly Hills, so hopefully I'll see you there. Best Wishes, Laura
