Layers of Light and Clouds

Winter Clouds

This little one (5″x7″) was painted on Ampersand Gessoboard. This is a surface I’ve never used before. Although I liked it, it was a little tricky getting the brushstrokes I was after.

Umbrellas on the River

Umbrellas on the River by Silvia Trujillo

Plein air painted at CSUS Aquatic Ctr. A bright, warm, and sunny winter’s day. The hills and foliage are in their winter coat and yet the intensity of the sun’s light created plenty of color on the water.
