I started this painting during one of our Sunday get togethers at the Arcata Marsh. I was really interested in the variety of misty hues in the distance. 

Nude with Floral Kimono

"Nude with Floral Kimono" by Andrew Daniel

20" x 16" oil on wood

Available from the artist

I wanted to tell the story of the models expression as well as the sensuality of the nude and the silk fabrics. Makes for a feeling of emotional vulnerability that is a very engaging subject to explore.

Smith River Swimming Hole

Just got back from a painting camp out with Rick Tolley and John Crater on the North Fork of the Smith. It was great to spend a weekend putting nature and painting ahead of anything else! Started 5 paintings while we were there. This one was my favorite.

I painted three paintings for the Humcats fund raiser. Two were angry cats, and then there was this adorable one. Apparently there is more appetite for irritated cats then cuddly ones. I don't have a theory for this, but it was a fun surprise to see that this was the cat that came back!

Devon's Dream of Death

I painted this during the drop in figure group at Eureka Studio Arts. I couldn't relate to the pose so I started goofing around, putting the skeleton in the background. It made me laugh, that's all that I can say. I'm not proud.

This is the second time I've had someone all dressed up to go out, only to have them sitting and looking at their phones. It cracks me up!

Last summer I got to go camping in the Siskiyou Wilderness with Rick Tolley and John Crater. We spent one of the days painting views of Doctor Rock. I liked how the formation rose up from this tree covered mountainside.

I've been watching Michelle Murphy-Fergusen and Faye Honoroff do these fun and quirky cow portraits for years now. I've been wanting to play along. Call it a guilty pleasure, I just so enjoy the funny expressions.

Luffenholtz Beach from Above

Here's another one photographed on the scene! I painted his last week over Luffenholtz Beach in the morning. The colors that day were so brilliant from the bright sun!
