Very rusty after a 8 week break from painting. I picked a very complicated painting for the first one back. 😂 I had a lot of fun and got to see faces I haven’t seen in awhile. A much needed session, restored my art force and already want to meet up again for another. Always a great inspiration to paint with the crew new members and old. Looking forward to the next.

Paddle and paint off Petaluma Hill Road. Came across a dead deer with vultures which was super gnarly. It makes sense that all the soft tissue is basically the first to go mouth lips, eyeballs I saved you from the photos. You’re welcome. Saw this barn off the road pretty challenging. I think it could use another session but I’m happy with it for now. . . #pleinair #pleinairpainting #gouache #gouachepainting #landscapepainting #illustration #artistonInstagram #study #nopleinnogain #sketchbook #painting #art #sketch #drawing #onlocation #acrylic #traditional #practice #Instaart #latinoartist #paintingoftheday #fromlife #stilllife #pedalandpaint (at Sonoma State University) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-ZOWzSLvL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Got in a quick pleinair painting session before the niner game. I was off the side of the road. Like always I paint with a 49er hat. I get more support (in the form of honking) on game day then any other day painting. Very clear and sunny just beautiful day. . . . #pleinair #pleinairpainting #gouache #gouachepainting #landscapepainting #illustration #artistonInstagram #study #nopleinnogain #sketchbook #painting #art #sketch #drawing #onlocation #acrylic #traditional #practice #Instaart #latinoartist #paintingoftheday #fromlife #stilllife #cotati #pleinairmag (at Cotati) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnu9KXIyb6K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I got lucky with a no rain session. I saw this huge eucalyptus tree and liked the warm color compared to the cool muted colors. Also, really liked how bright and green the grass was. It’s so hard to simplify foliage what branches to put in what leaves to take out on top of value in capturing the overcast and raininess of the environment. . . #pleinair #pleinairpainting #gouache #gouachepainting #landscapepainting #illustration #artistonInstagram #study #nopleinnogain #sketchbook #painting #art #sketch #drawing #onlocation #acrylic #traditional #practice #Instaart #latinoartist #paintingoftheday #fromlife #stilllife #pleinairmag (at Cotati) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnc4WI-SxW2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I hadn’t visited my moms gravesite in a while, so I thought I would do a painting for her since I haven’t been here throughout the holidays. Her favorite type of tree was always the eucalyptus. She love the way they smell and actually planted one in the backyard years ago. It’s a beautiful species of tree they have their own way of growing and shedding throughout their life. The colors are so diverse with warms and cools and look totally different when the sunlight hits. I’m not too happy with it. I feel like I over complicated it once again but that’s how you learn. making mistakes is fine as long as you correct it. . . #pleinair #pleinairpainting #gouache #gouachepainting #landscapepainting #illustration #artistonInstagram #study #nopleinnogain #sketchbook #painting #art #sketch #drawing #onlocation #acrylic #traditional #practice #Instaart #latinoartist #paintingoftheday #pleinairmag (at Calvary Catholic Cemetery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnK-HFYv8VD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Commissioned work. This painting was for a Christmas gift that I did a few weeks ago in Pacific Heights. Really nice neighborhood when ever I rode my bike in Pacific Heights I would daydream of living in one of the huge mansions. The views are just amazing. Hope they liked it. I started the painting on location and got to a stage where I could finish the details in my studio.

Had another awesome painting day with the one and only @williereal it’s a trip, walking around Petaluma looking for cool things to paint. Ask us 20+ years ago to go to Petaluma to hangout 😂 we would of said hell no! The art style changes with the journey, and I would like to think it’s for the better. From being graffiti enthusiast to appreciating a run down factory or old Riverwalk. texture, character in buildings. Things that might appear, dilapidated, neglected, or forgotten, might seem more of an enchantment of interest to an artist. Petaluma is perfect for this. . . #pleinair #pleinairpainting #gouache #gouachepainting #landscapepainting #illustration #artistonInstagram #study #nopleinnogain #sketchbook #painting #art #sketch #drawing #onlocation #acrylic #traditional #practice #Instaart #latinoartist #paintingoftheday (at Petaluma, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmiM2IIrSPW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I started way later today 1:30 or 2 and felt like the colors had a big shift in the 2 hrs I painted. My values might be a little to might on the light side but was happy to put in on another pedal and paint. 6x8 acrylics . . #pleinair #pleinairpainting #gouache #gouachepainting #landscapepainting #illustration #artistonInstagram #study #nopleinnogain #sketchbook #painting #art #sketch #drawing #onlocation #acrylic #traditional #practice #Instaart #latinoartist #pedalandpaint #househusband (at Cotati) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmVIAVjvm57/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It was my mom’s birthday yesterday. So for a little tribute I painted her favorite type of tree. Every time I see eucalyptus trees I think of my mom. In the back yard there is still evidence of her DIY hammocks, borderline dangerous and not safe. . . pleinair #pleinairpainting #gouache #gouachepainting #landscapepainting #illustration #artistonInstagram #study #nopleinnogain #sketchbook #painting #art #sketch #drawing #onlocation #acrylic #traditional #practice #Instaart #art #smarttrain #latinoartist (at Cotati) https://www.instagram.com/p/CleqyFUSYdT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A beautiful day for pleinair painting. So humbling to paint with such talented artists. Very inspiring to push harder towards my person goals. . . #pleinair #pleinairpainting #gouache #gouachepainting #landscapepainting #illustration #artistonInstagram #study #nopleinnogain #sketchbook #painting #art #sketch #drawing #onlocation #acrylic #traditional #practice #Instaart #art #paintingoftheday #nickscove (at Nick's Cove Tomales Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck7UKK0rxME/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A quick session at bodega bay this morning 6x8 in acrylics. (at Bodega Bay, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkpkWV4rlvo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s starting to get cold out there. It felt colder than 42 degrees this morning. I was able to do 2 6x8 paintings at Taylor mountain. The first one was a little difficult because the sun was racing over the side of Taylor mountain. I was try to capture the warmth of the sun over the cool shadowed terrain. The second painting was fun with the hillside sloping down along with the trails. . . #pleinair #pleinairpainting #gouache #gouachepainting #landscapepainting #illustration #artistonInstagram #study #nopleinnogain #sketchbook #painting #art #sketch #drawing #onlocation #acrylic #traditional #practice #Instaart #paintingoftheday #art #sonomacounty #latinoartist (at Taylor Mountain Regional Park & Open Space Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkWmkQeSsh1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
