Pacific Groooooove

 Loved returning to the beautiful scenery of Pacific Grove. Covid notwithstanding, you can't take away the views!

Painted two, only one of which is worth bothering with. Quick small pen and watercolor sketch. (The other started and ended with nothing in mind and nothing of value on paper.)

Portola Vineyards

Portola Vineyards fruit tree, 9x12" soft pastel on Siena Pastelmat, 2020, B. Charlow, Portola Valley, CA

Second time I've painted this tree, with the large wood pile in background that I've also painted before. Strong backlight and dappled lighting.
