Marsh Seven and Eight

Marsh Seven, 6 x 6 inches, oil.

Marsh Eight, 6 x 6 inches, oil.

These two paintings were done at the Oil Painters of America Paintout at the Palo Alto Baylands. I was pleased with the paintings, even though the day was overcast with flat light.
Ordinarily, I would be in the studio on such a day, having resolved to avoid potentially boring painting conditions. I especially like the painting harmony and composition of the second painting--it reflects the quality of the day very well.
