Daily Painting 872 Seaside Garden

Its 5 x 7 oil, pretty much a fantasy painting. I looked at a photo of some plants sort of like these and there was a house in back of them. I didn't feel like painting a house so I did the ocean instead. It was one of those paintings thats a lot of fun to paint.

Daily Painting 869 After the Rains

Its sort of a plein air, I wasn't outside but this is the view of my overgrown garden from the studio window. We had some rains last week and everything got growing. It was 100 degrees today so I don't know how much longer its going to be this lush looking unless we get more rain.
Its oil, 5 x 7 I mostly used a painting knife so it has lots of texture.
