Small Church with Red Doors

"Small Church with Red Doors", Oil on Canvas Panel, 9"x11", Plein Air
 
This is a small church in San Marcos, California. The interesting story behind it is that it is actually two smaller churches joined together, both of which were moved to this site. The entry with the spire is one building and the other was cut in half and attached to the sides.

Our garden attracts a lot of butterflies each year. This Monarch didn't make the return trip south.

Smith Rock Sunset

"Smith Rock Sunset", Oil on Canvas Panel, 9"x12", Plein Air
 
I camped at Smith Rock State Park and captured several images of the area en plein air. Hiked some trails, over the top and along the river. The first evening there, I painted this 9x12 just before sunset. The low spot is Asterisk Pass although Asterisk Rock is not visible from this angle.
