View of Trinidad California From the South painting by Andrew Daniel

This is one of the places that John Crater took me too a few weeks ago during that spell of warm weather we had in October. I Thought I would try a larger painting, because the scene I wanted to capture was so huge. It was a lot of fun painting large after all of those small ones I had been doing.

This is an original oil painting on Baltic Birch Plywood. It is signed by me, Andrew Daniel. The panel measures 12" x 20" (304cm x 508cm).

This painting is available in my online shop.

Allen Pond with Fog at the Arcata Marsh painting by Andrew Daniel

I've been fascinated by the morning for lately. It gives me the opportunity to paint multiple color schemes in the same painting. Muted grays and whites in the background and vibrant greens in the fore. The marsh is a great spot to explore these ideas.

This painting measures 5" x 7"(13cm x 18cm) and is painted in oil paint on a piece of Baltic Birch wood panel that measures 1/2" deep. It has a simple homemade slat wood frame.

Field with Fences in the Arcata Bottoms painting by Andrew Daniel

I was driving through the Arcata Bottoms last week when I became attracted to the bright green of the grasses in the cattle fields. While composing the image, the repeating rhythm of the fences jumped out at me. So I thought it might be worth experimenting with them.

Afternoon Light in the Arcata Bottoms painting by Andrew Daniel
